TDL Compact Monitors

Hello everyone,
I have recently picked up a new pair of Klipsch Heresy's and I am simply in love with them.
They replaced my beautiful pair of TDL Compact monitors I bough new many moons ago. I worked in a wonderful audio shop and we sold TDL, Mission, Paradigm, Tannoy just to name a few. 
I was wondering if they would be worth putting the TDL's up for sale. They are nearly perfect with original box and papers. I sort of hate to part with them, but they are boxed away and just hate the thought of them not being used as intended. 
Any suggestions would be most welcome. 
Thank you

I bought the huge TDL Monitors...twice! Great brand, and you seldom see any of them for sale. If it was me, I would keep them because I can't imagine that you will get much for them. Of course you could decide what the lowest price that you would accept is, and then pull the ad if you don't get it.

I  sold 2 different brands of speakers here, a few years apart, and I deeply regret selling both pairs.

Something is seductive about TDL's, difficult to replace. Monitors were great. Big box but airy sound. Same with Studio 2 i had for some time.

The large monitors were the only speakers that I ever owned that could  reach into subwoofer territory. I recall that when I had owned them for a while in the mid 80's, I played an Enya disc. Her music contains some synthesizer sounds, and I had played this disc many times on my previous speakers. Suddenly, a low, atmospheric note literally shook the room, and everyone stopped talking and looked at each other. It was subsonic! They had a large transmission line driven by an elliptical KEF B139 woofer. They were very good speakers in most other ways too.
