Sir I don't know anything about your speakers but do want to extend my condolences for Paul and all that you and your family has had to endure. We did a lot of praying around here and always holding out hope so it is very good to see you posting here.

There is some information in a different thread on the value of these speakers.

http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/ess-amt-6-professionals.394178/

The consensus back in 2011 was that they should fetch $1200-1500. Hope this helps.

I've heard them, and they sound VERY good. Paul was very proud of them, and how good his music sounded, when played through them.

Here is Paul's thread when he was going to buy them and then did in 2005....They must be good speakers if he kept them for 12 years.

At the end of the thread a comment was made in 2012 by @Mitman
Sold mine in 2012 fo $2,000.

They seem to be really rare so it will be hard to determine a price for the seller and buyer and the above was the last sale I could find. If they were mine and I was offering them for sale I'd ask for $2500- $2800 and see if you get bites and you can always come down in negotiations.

We would be glad to do the legwork to find you a buyer. You son was deeply respected here, and we have been praying for your recovery and your family. Please let us know how we can help - there are many friends here.

I am planning on taking some pics and testing them later this week and doing a CL listing to get them out there. I too have been looking at pricing them but there isn't a lot of info out there.

If they are solid, we'll probably start them like Dan suggested at $2500 and see what happens. These speakers really are pretty much fine audio hen's teeth and should draw interest from well beyond metro Detroit

Might be some interest here at AK too.

Those AMT drivers are sweet. Some of the nicest tweeters I've heard anywhere.

Looked at the pics in the old thread. Daaang look at those things!

I've already spoke to Grumpy and Ernie and Paul's dad is now a Subscriber. I will be posting these speakers and other of Paul's massive collection on his behalf in BT in the near future clearly marked as "Kegger's".

I'll be re-upping the famous KPM 10.0 Econowaves later today as a start.

Nice work guys....it's called Community!!!

Update time. I ire-nstalled the woofers after I refoamed them tonight and we gave them a spin only to find a dead woofer. Since Keg said both worked fine, I did some testing and found one of the tinsel leads needed to have the solder joint on the terminal strip reflowed/resoldered and once we did that it worked fine. The initial test with a tuner was unimpressive due to weak signal issues, but once we switched to a CD it was much, much better. Unfortunately, we did find two tweeters to be missing, so we have to decide what to do there and address the cosmetics, as the grilles need their chipboard frames redone and the finish needs a good oiling or some Howards to restore some glory to them.

I'm going back over there tomorrow and may post some pics. I will keep you all posted!!
