Those look really great. As a proud restored 5B owner myself, I am sure someone will be really happy with these! GLWTS.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

I know I'm being picky because the OP is so close, but....are we going to stick to the rules around here or what ?
Cortico,
I sympathize with your plight, but to sell something in the FM sellers need 100 posts. Heck, a few more posts in the forum and your there. Hate to be a stick in the mud but those are the rules, and good luck with your sale afterwards.HT SYSTEM-

And FYI, we had a similar pair here awhile back with all the upgrades PLUS peerless tweets and I think he went all the way down to $150, and I don't think he ever sold them (at least not on here, after months). Great speakers, but when you refurb its for you...Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

Bedroom 2.1 Harmon Kardon HK3490; Bluesounds Node N130; Polk RT25i; ACI Titan Subwoofer -
That's what I concluded, I kept both the 5b and CRS. They have the new tweeters... Not bad at all!
