Are '80 K-horn xovers worth anything?

[Paul Folbrecht]

Put in a pair of new Crites A crossovers today. Are the totally stock Klipsch AA networks, complete with their 29 year-old capacitors, worth anything, or should I just toss them?

Same question with the K33 woofers I replaced with new Crites woofers - except in that case I'm sure the answer is YES as they are Alnico and in perfect shape.

toss them over to ebay and you will see exactly what their worth. go on the completed items section to see what they are selling for.

2 sets just sold for $159 and $177 so you could send them to me and i will get rid of them for you

There were never any AlNiCo K-33s. In 1980, the K-33-Es should have square magnets and a lower Fs than later models. They will be identical to the Crites woofers you installed. If yours had round magnets, they were more recent replacements and you improved your bass perfprmance. Either way, they should bring up to $100 each on eBay.

You should keep the AA's and replace the caps. At some point you can swap the A's back with the AA'a and compare. The AA's were standard on the Klipschorns for a number of years and alot of folks like them. Recapped, they can be sold/ traded and are worth between $160 and $200, depending on the market.
