FS (feeler): K-horns w/Edgarhorn tops, Yamaha crossovers; 300B amp, bottlehead pre

I am *considering* downsizing my system, as it appears I'm going to have to give up my listening room. On the block will be a pair of K-horn bottoms, unfinished -- one a 1958 and the other late 60's -- with matching K-33's. The HF is handled by a pair of rectangular Edgarhorns with Fostex fullrange drivers, and Audax bullet tweeters. The speakers aren't pretty, but sound fantastic with the Yamaha electronic crossovers I will offer with them. They really would do well to be veneered; they're solid, just ugly. I'd like to see $1000 for them as-is.

If I can sell the speakers, I'll put my Velez 300B amp and Bottlehead Foreplay on the block, too. I'd offer them at $700 and $250 respectively; the latter is the older version but has all the sonic upgrades.

Your thoughts on speaker pricing are welcome; thanks!

You're right Bill -- I thought I had my location listed in my profile, but apparently didn't. I do now! Charleston, IL is where I call home (about an hour from you, in fact). As stated, the woofers are K-33's (square magnets), and match. I'll post the info on the HF drivers this evening after work. Thanks for your input!

Fostex drivers are FE126E'S; I tried a number of drivers in these (though I couldn't afford the Dynaudios that everyone raves about), and these were my favorite by far. The Audax tweeters are PR120I1's, and I have a spare diaphragm that go with these. I can take pics for anyone interested, but I cannot host them to post here.

I'd like to see pic's of each label...can you email them to me?

These are unfinished, does that mean they came that way or are they half way thru a re-veneer project?

Hi Fritz -- sure, I can send pics. One (the '58) was (poorly) veneered with some NASTY Formica, which I promptly removed. Some of the glue remained, so it's pretty nasty looking. The other is painted black (save the top piece, which is natural plywood as I had to fabricate it myself).
