They look similar to a pair that was at the last fest. Maybe send Smitterdave a pm.
Yes !
I have a pair and they are giant killers when you feed them some power ( 100 watts +)
I recently read and another post that these are a Henry Kloss design

Yes. The ones I had heard at the fest sounded fantastic and they looked good too.
Yes those are the 225's I have the AS 125's at the fest. EastPoint is right if you are looking to flip no one will give you $50 for them because they have a Sylvania badge.
If you want a sleeper... let the jaws drop when you rebuild the crossovers and drive them properly, these were designed for Sylvania by Henry Kloss.
If you do not want them please let me know where I can purchase them, looking to build a system for my nephew.
With the right amplification you do not need 100 watt's. 60 watts tube sound awesome, 80 watts Class A you will not need anymore.
Yes maybe that was an exaggeration.
These speakers were not very impressive until I powered them with a big Soundcraftsmen amp and then whoa ! In hindsight I was probably only pushing 20 Watts.

Most speakers don't sound good on the floor, gets boomy and the mid and tweeters would be aimed at your knees. Plus the crossover caps would all need replacement at this point so the recommendation of rebuilding the crossovers is important. The Alnico dome tweeters are supposed to be pretty nice, sourced from Long Engineering.
But the OP has a point in that if they don't sound good to you, it's hard to consider buying them with low resale value unless you're in for a project or experiments.
