They are worth about $7-800 in working condition. No foam surround rot or buzzing ribbons. It is about 1K to have the ribbons rebuilt. I would wait for the big boys. ;)

I think this total package is great, separate active crossover for Bi Amping. (use a Sunfire 400x5)
I sold a similar package 3 months ago for $1200.00 with brand new ribbons.
I would make an offer in that range. they are heavy 104lbs each, so shipping is
out of the question. make sure you can pick them up.
I only sold my set due to lack of room to place them.

Thanks for all the input? Does ribbon buzz come with age? or abuse? This is all new to me?

Ribbons have a life of about 20 years. If they are kept in a moist enviroment that will take time off of them. If they are kept in a climate controled setting you can get more life out of them.
In time they all will need repaired and you are looking at about $1,000 to get them back which will get you about another 20 years.
