    I would not touch these for anywhere near his asking. The replacement crossover shown in the picture looks like it was built by Frankenstein himself and then run over by a truck that backed up and did it again just to make certain it was dead.
    HT Setup... Pioneer Elite SC-37, Polk Audio SDA-SRS 1.2TL's Restored with full mods, Polk Audio RM-7500 Surrounds, Oppo BDP 93
    Two Channel... Carver Statement 450~1 Vacuum Tube Monoblocks, Dodd Mid-line Tube Linestage with Psvane 12Ax7 tubes, Pioneer Pdd 9Mk II SACD Player, Yamaha PX-3 Turntable with Sumiko BPS EvoIII, Polk Audio SDA-SRS 1.2TLs, with full mods.

    Price seems $2-300 too high. If they were local, I might take a look/listen. I'd ask questions about the crossover rebuild--What capacitors were used? They look like they might be Solens, which is not the generally preferred brand around here, especially in the tweeter circuit.

    No way they are worth that price! Those crossovers look horrible and armature at best, they would probably have to re-do them just to get them to sound right. boxes and drivers look good though. $400 at the most.

    those crossovers look like the thing that jumped out of the teleportation pod at the end of the FLY though.

    " Selling a pair of Polks, model RTA 15 TL in oak cabinets and piano black tops. The speaker look and work great, but I've no more room for them (I wish I did) these speakers are monsters! Asking $350 or best offer for the pair of speakers or trade with a similar condition (as the polks) 23xx Marantz. "
