$6k..wow. Do they really sound that good?

More a rarity than value based on sound. I'd put the noncollector value on them in the Bozak Concert Grand range. Jensen never seemed to really crack the completed system market but their offerings were very good. More than likely from the photos, the cabinets were made from the free plans Jensen offered to their customers. The cabinet interior looks better than their manufactured cabinets that we had as Jensen dealers.

Oh, not sure of the drivers but the crossover looks to be from their late 50s catalog so possibly a bit of premium as back then mono prevailed so finding a stereo pair might add a premium for the price.

I have heard them and they are not that great, certainly not $6,000! But they are kinda scarce.

I have one and think it's cool. It sounds good but not nearly that good. There are a lot better speakers for that amount of money.

This is all about the components in an original configuration.

If you just bought the drivers and crossovers you are easily talking $2,000 or more. If they are matched, and if the cabinets are documented as factory original, then the rest of the price is for the "collectible" aspects.
