Hey,

I'm not affiliated with the sale, just thought it was amusing the prices people are asking for vintage gear....If anyone wants an overpriced 25yo SW-15 sub, there's one in the Chicago land area.  I think he's quite a bit overpriced.

I had a bunch of these back in the day... the amps go bad on these a lot!!!

Don't think I've ever seen one in Walnut before.. still I believe you are right on the price technology has come a long way since these came out I've seen brand new Klipsch 15" subs on sale for his asking price that probably blow the doors off this one.

I agree, usually black and oak.

 

I had 4 of these, and an sw-12 back in the day and the amps go bad... so, I used to pull the amp and patch the whole and use them as passive subs.  They sounded decent.  However, for a little bit more money and a little patience, you can get an RSW-15 that will blow it away.
