Trish Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) I recently moved into a lovely mid-century home built in 1965 and 'inherited' a pair of Goodmans Axiom 301 12 Inch speakers . They are encased in original hand-made teak cabinets and include Trebax 15 OHMS tweeters. I have tested the speakers and the sound is excellent. Both cabinets and speakers are in amazing condition. Cabinet dimensions are 95H x 50W x 34D. I believe they are quite rare and sought after. Am looking to sell and would love to get some feedback on price and the sort of interest they might attract. Located in Sydney, upper north shore. Edited June 29 by Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Located in Sydney, upper north shore. These are indeed rare and beautiful speakers in what looks like fantastic condition. I note that you also have I believe the original Goodmans ARU units in there. I am sure these sound fantastic. It is hard to say what they are worth. @Ian McP linked to my old ad, when I tried to sell mine in 2021 (just after the second Sydney lockdown). $750 was too cheap, but nobody was interested - I was moving house at the time, and shipping them was not an option, so this also limited the interest. , I have ended up happily keeping my speakers and reinventing them. Typically these speakers are worth much more internationally and are sought after by certain collectors- but we likely have too small a market here in Australia for the high prices that are seen overseas. I think $1000-1500 is a not unreasonable ask for your speakers, particularly if you are willing to freight them interstate; but again, it might be slow going to sell them at this price. Another option you have is to keep them and use them? The speakers will produce a sound unlike almost anything you can buy today, and could be fun if you like the aesthetics. You are welcome to DM me if you want some tips on selling them - I am in Sydney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 Apologies for my tardy reply - you must think me very rude. Thank you for taking the time to provide so much helpful information. As you predicted, the speakers have not proved easy to sell so I am taking your advice and re-purposing them......aka.... I'm giving them to my brother-in-law who is thrilled to have them. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
