I have a pair, in mildly beat up condition, that still sound great. Does anyone know what I should be selling them for--are they considered vintage?

I assume they're not, but I'd hate to give away a collector's item--I'm not looking to gouge anybody, just want them to go to a good home--any thoughts?

thanks for reading.

    They're fairly hard to find, but there isn't a lot of demand for them, unfortunately. I had a pair of their big brothers, the VS-25s for a time, couldn't find a whole lot of info on them. In perfect working condition, 7/10 exterior. Sold them for $75.

    If you're close to Indy, i'd consider them taking them off your hands for $40-$50. They made for GREAT bedroom TV speakers, magnetically shielded and all.

    The VS-25s sounded very good, slightly top heavy, but the imaging was exceptional.
    I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

    thanks, but sadly I'm in Southern California.

    But I totally appreciate your views and knowledge.

    I'd rate the appearance a 5/10, I guess, FWIW.

    If I can't sell them locally, I'd totally ship them to you, gratis, if you pay the shipping.

    No problem, just glad to give info when i can. I know there isn't much out there on these, i had a hell of a time digging up info on mine.

    Here's my thread on them, there's a decent link within that thread as well.

    Looking back... 7/10 might have been pessimistic. Oh well.

    Keep me posted, i'll gladly take them off your hands if you think you can ship without being damaged. :D
