I have a set of Monitor 5A's with original peerless tweeters. Going to put up for sale soon. They have the original crossovers in tact and the woofers have not been JB welded to prevent magnet shift.

Is the used market value higher as is? Or would it be higher if the woofers are shored up and crossovers recapped?

    The latter.

    If you're just going to sell them, I would think taking care of the magnets is a "cheap" add-on (could move during shipping), while the XO's could be left to the buyer to spend however much $ on them he/she wants. Kind of like a house: you won't get back the price of the XO upgrade if/when you sell.
