These are not that old and have hardly been used.I bought them to use with a 1970's Sanyo home receiver until I could find some vintage speakers to match this unit and the 1960's / 70's room decor.Its hard to find decent speakers that are older and used but I found a pair of Yamaha and Sony towers that's why I'm selling these that have never had more than 15 watts per channel going through them.You can see what these cost and no there's nothing wrong with them other than there priced a lot less than there worth because I don't need them.
