I will go with the others in saying KEEP IT!
Giving it a whirl before even deciding to sell it is a very sound advise by Unsound.
The Rogers LS3/5a are very much sought after speakers as there is a cult following for them. There is a group of 1500 folks who share the joys of these legendary speakers. I also happen to own two pairs from different era. Some can fetch as high as Two Thousand Dollars, depending on when they were produced, their specs and the finish. Just to give you a hint, if they are in rosewood finish, Pre 1980 models, having a 15 Ohm rating and in pristine condition, yes they would fetch close to that figure. If they were Chartwells instead of Rogers they would fetch around Two Thousand Five hundred or so. During the economic boom in the Far East in mid 90's the price for them was something like $4,500/pair!
The most common types are the Rogers LS3/5a's, post 1990 models in teak finish which in worst case scenario could fetch between $600-900. Of course they need to be in reasonable condition and not damaged or tinkered with.
I do not want you to be taken for a ride, so I mentioned it.
Lastly and again I would insist that you please keep the system, have fun with it for a while and than make up your mind, if at all you should decide to sell them.
