I have the chance to buy a perfect pair of these for $300. They are new still in the boxes with warrantee card, documents and crossovers... They are mint! 😁 The issue is that I don't have an amp to power them, so will probably resell, is $300 a good price?
Well, these were manufactored 1987-90 or so. Think they were $2000/pair new. They may need some work as the adhesive use to give up. For $300 they are a good buy in my world.
Maggies that old will typically have issues with delamination. This is the voice coil wires separating from the mylar diaphragm due to the adhesive breaking down. You may have to remove the speaker's "sock" to see if the wires have lifted from the diaphragm. If you're lucky you might be able to use a flashlight to look thru the grille cloth to see if the wires have separated. You can learn more about it here...
