What is a complete DQ-10 Set Up worth

I have a set of DQ-10's mirror imaged as well as the DQ-1W and the DQ-LP1 Active crossover. I am the original owner and have not rebuilt these yet, although they are in very good shape and the crossover is perfect and working.
what is this worth or would it be cheaper to rebuild and keep these for future use, I currently have sold all my other equipment as far as amps and such go and don't have the room to set these up anymore, but heard they are hard to replace for the money now days compared to what's out there
What do you all think
thanks

    Why would you join the Polk forum to ask this?

    $200 for the sub setup, $300 - $500 for the mirrored 10's.

    Russ is spot on with the value...bear in mind though, those crossovers could use a freshening plus if the surrounds on the woofer have never been done, they probably need to be.

    Nice setup, though.

    I agree with the $300-$500 speaker value. Your sub set up might get you more. I've been looking for a couple of years and haven't found them that cheap. The active crossover seem to be more desirable than the sub itself.

    I haven't seen many mirror images without some attention to the crossover but perhaps you're into the new world order.

    It's a great loudspeaker, just don't tweak it too much.

    The later models came from the factory mirror imaged but even those are getting up there in age....I think anything after 1984 were mirror imaged.

    Damn....I missed a pair on the Dallas Craigslist that were only $50 although cosmetically challenged. As long as they weren't beaten to hell or water damaged, I coulda worked with that. Was it one of you other DFW guys that saw these and snagged them? :p

    1984 sounds about right for the factory mirror imaged models. Prior to that the mirror imaging was a tweak, done with varying success depending on who did the mods.

    FWIW - I just sold my mirror imaged, almost NIB DQ10's for $650 plus a pretty good condition Marantz 2270 receiver.

    I paid $300 for mine local. Good condition, refoamed, with a partial recap. Mine are later factory mirrored models. No regreats, a very enjoyable speaker.
