Are the 6 speakers from a 2001 Bose Lifestyle 20 Music System worth anything?

I was with one of ATC’s engineers when we opened one of those puppies up and he immediately started laughing.  He recognized the driver immediately and said it goes for three pence, which I think equated to about 6 cents at the time.  So I’d say you’d be lucky to get 36 cents for the set but more likely will have to pay someone to take them away.

which driver are you talking about? The smaller drivers are proprietary. Most drivers are just paper and metal. The ATC is no exception. So how ironic that he thought it was funny how cheap the drivers were when in fact the ATC drivers are no more expensive. So before you try to mock Bose drivers why dont you tell us how cheap the drivers are used by other high end companies? The joke would be on you

I always knew you were flat-out nuts, but that could be the stupidest thing you’ve ever said here. Last I saw an ATC midrange driver alone cost around $500, so which Bose driver would be comparable? And I don’t need to mock Bose drivers — they do it all by themselves. Bose is much better at cancelling sound than reproducing it, which is why you mainly see them in planes, cars, and football stadiums and NEVER in a high-end audio shop much less in a recording studio like ATC.  

The reason they are $500 is because 1. It gives them more profit 2. If audiophiles found out the true cost was much cheaper, they would lose confidence in the company

Recording Studios use far more NS10's than ATC. The Ns10's are some of the most horrible sounding speakers ever. They have no bass only mids. But studios love 'em! So the studio engineers have zero credibility. 

Give them to the Salvation Army Thrift store ASAP!!
