Head's up for those who might want them

But I ask are they worth it ?

2nd the NO.

Seem fairly priced to me.

 

[Silentnet]

Not worth that in any area.

Sold mine for $400 recently & had multiple people that wanted them. However, they had all the correct parts including the CS5 tweeters. Guy who bought them felt he was getting a deal. The D9's are going for stupid money these days. I made a tidy profit selling them @ that price, so I'm not complaining.

I really think that it depends on the audition of said speakers, what if the guy that rebuilt them actually knows what he is doing because he could have modified the crossover to match the tweeter. Then the crossover being adjustable can change how the speaker sounds completely with variations in between. For an all original untouched pair of speakers with new surrounds they may not be worth that money. But with the prices still rising on equipment, expert rebuilders are going to make improvements for a higher retail profit.

It doesn’t matter if it’s cabinetry, Muscle cars or homes, when popularity causes profit to escalate, it allows skilled people to create superior products and make more money. If stereo equipment manufacturers back in the seventies could have charged twenty-five percent more the capabilities of vintage equipment would have been better as manufacturers build everything based upon profit margins and attracting new customers.

Then most eighties equipment would have evolved into better equipment based upon profit margins instead of loosing build quality as they did. Only TOTL equipment in the eighties and nineties maintained some kind of quality.....in general.

I personally won't pay that much but I see people dropping big $$$ for these 12" and 15" woofers Vegas!

 

[esprits4s]

Not in that condition... In nice original condition, that is in the range of what they sell for.

 

[superdog]

Yes.

Buyer seems to have thought so. They went pretty quick. There's a lot of CVs on CL right now, some over priced, some under.

You mean to tell me they sold? Lol ... asking if something is fairly priced around here is a joke.

Seems that they got sold
I am not surprised
I listed a pair of RE30's for $300 almost a year ago hoping to get at least $200 and a guy came and paid me the full $300.
