I just wanted to thank everybody who responded to my post about what my speakers might be worth. I posted them on Craigslist and did as several of you suggested and listed them for $700, with the intentions of getting (hopefully) at least $500. Well, within 15 minutes of posting I got numerous texts, calls and emails. I ended up selling them to a very nice man who drove for 4 hours to buy them (for $600! - yay!!). I hope he gets as much enjoyment out of them as we did. Thanks again everybody!!

Thanks to everyone for your input. As far as I can tell, the only "visual" damage are the 2 water stains. There are no cracks or wear and tear of any other kind. Those lines you see are just the natural look of the wood. And as far as I know they still work perfectly. They did up until the day we moved and they've been sitting in the corner of our gameroom since then. Hopefully I can ask, like suggested, around $700 and negotiate down some? I'm sure if someone refinishes them they will be a wonderful addition to someone's sound system. We enjoyed them while we could. But now we're more in need of the space (and the $$). Tnanks again for all the replies.

I live in Texas. In a suburb of Dallas. Thanks

Hello, I'm new to this forum and was hoping someone could help me. I have a pair of, I guess you could call them vintage, Klipsch Cornwall CBR loudspeakers. The tags on the backs have consecutive serial numbers and say 1980 Klipsch and Associates. So I'm guessing that that was when they were manufactured? They were a gift from my ex-stepfather several years ago. We used them in our home as part of our home theatre system setup. They were fabulous. But about a year and a half ago we moved and our new home can no longer accommodate the size these speakers take up. They have been stored inside our home (not in a garage or anywhere they might be comprised by heat). And worked perfectly before our move (and I'm assuming, still do). They are unfinished and unfortunately have a couple of water stains on the tops of the speakers. My mother, in her wisdom, thought they looked too bare and sat a couple of flower pots on them. And I wasn't aware that that the pots leaked (or she overwatered) until the pots were moved. But it's just a round water stain where the pots sat. I'm thinking if they were finished that it wouldn't be an issue (but I'm not an expert, so wouldn't know for sure). Anyways, to make a long story short (too late, right?), I am looking to sell these speakers, probably locally through Craigslist (don't want to pay to ship these heavy suckers) and wondering what I should ask for them. I've tried looking online but I see the prices running from one end to the other, so I have no idea... If anyone could help. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
