Just read basically an advert for sale in the U.K. which said in 9 out of 10 condition $1400 plus pounds. Of course it's an ad for sale si could be B.S.
Probably best you connect em up and give em a burl. Apparently the tweeters are pretty easy to blow and cost a fortune to get genuine replacement's. Best of Luck.

Seems like you've already done your research so why not just list the amp and speakers at what you'd like for them and see what the market says. It's the only way to really know what they're worth.

I think your pro wood expert would have been able to differentiate between European walnut which is what the veneer used on these speakers is and "marble oak". The water mark on the top may be able to be worked out but both speakers would need to be done in order to match. For a 30 year old speaker, good luck with the $1300US price. They used to sell for about $2200 new.

Does your pro wood expert know that the cabinets are most likely veneered chipboard, or veneered MDF?

I have seen Celestion Ditton 551s  sell for around $500  and they are pretty similar speakers.

They probably sound quite good [the 551 are excellent] but would need crossover refurbishment and the cabinets in what looks like bog standard rotary sliced walnut look like they need refurbishment too.

I think AL Ms valuation is about right.

You appear to be an expert on them already so it is a bit strange you are requesting advice and guidance..

 

By the way do you have any jousting sticks you want to sell ?
