So I went ahead and picked these up, and I feel pretty good about it. I could tell that the family that was getting rid of them needed the money, so I ended up paying a little more than the $50 they were asking for as for the condition they were in it was warranted.
If I had to pick a word for them, it would be accurate. They aren't as warm as a KLH 5 and the highs aren't as sparkling as my JBLs, but the imagining and blend of them is pretty dang good. The bass response from the dual 6.5" drivers was pretty surprising too, fairly tight and goes pretty low without distortion. Probably some of the best big box speakers I've had.
