Surprisingly not all that valuable considering their legacy and age (which translated means they must not have been that good), but thay had a cool factor that spoke to me...More later,

Not as far as I know. Most people who are into KLH give them pretty good remarks. Not nearly as good as the marks that the 17's, 6's and 20's will get but good nonetheless.
However, in my experience, that is the beauty of KLH. They are awesome speakers that will get you into hi-fi for realtivly cheap! I have found very few people who don't like them and those that don't are comapring them to much more higher end and expensive speakers. So naturally a small, paper conce acoustic suspension speaker is going to lose out to and a fancy pants Wilson Audio or Martin Logan speaker.
I think you'll be pleased with them. They are certainly going to surprise you because most people think that a 40 year old speaker can sound that good. I don't know what the impedance or the power rating is but KLH's tend to like their power but don't like being over-driven/powered. They respond incredibly well to tube amps and a tube amp will usually smooth out thier already rich mid-range. You will also want to put them on stands to get them off the floor. Small 12-24" stands should work just find. Those 10 inch woofers will give the speakers some punch too.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

I've been VERY impressed with KLH speakers, for what they are. I havnt heard any old ones, but heck, even the new ones offer some type of value...- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Agree in general about KLH.. Lived with a pair of 5's for a couple years in college... Very nice indeed and are on my hit list...
Some of the smaller KLH, e.g., 17's, 20's, etc. are nice as well, but are "lighter" weight... Can't say that I remember hearing the 6's, but may have.
These old 12's are the first I've seen. The "contour boxes" were a big factor in my fleeting infatuation. Ditto the driveer layout which is very similar to the 5's. At around 100# a piece, the cabinets must be substantial to say the least.More later,

You're right... I don't have a pair with the utility cabinets..
