Audio Labs crossover mystery

Hey folks, attempting to learn more about these speaker crossovers made by Audio Labs. I believe they were a Malaysian company active in the 90s? Impressive hardware accompanied by massive cables. Platforms measure 13 x 9-3/4 ins. with plexiglass covers. Any info and opinions on value much appreciated!20200202_151942.jpg 20200202_151741.jpg

The answer is printed right on there:

Designed to be used with LST AUDIO LAB'S MTM REFERENCE
​
Presumably MTM Reference is a model of speaker made by the same company that made the crossovers. I doubt they have much value unless you can find someone who has the speakers but lost their crossovers. LST Audio's website appears to have disappeared, so I'm betting they're out of business.

Yes, I'm aware of that! I'm just asking if anyone knows about the company and this product in particular. From what I can glean, they made very high end speakers. Thx
 
I have never heard of those speakers, so I can't help you there. Just looking at the boards and parts, they don't seem to be a great treasure. Except to someone who needed that exact board to restore a pair of speakers. That said, they could be used for something else, if you liked the design and the crossover point. It may work, it may not work so good. Finally, the inductors have value - if you buy new those two can cost you a few bucks. I always keep inductors when I find them. If you are thinking about selling these, don't take less than what the inductors would cost.
 
Looks like they used Zen and Hovland Musicap premium capacitors. I would definitely salvage those and the inductors + wire terminals and use 'em in my diy builds. If you're not a diy'er, sell those parts and they're probably worth quite a bit.
