considering 15 yr old Eggleston Andra's

Hi I am wondering if these speakers are still worth the investment at approx 15 yrs old? (The speakers have been re-foamed) also, what to listen for while auditioning them?

Thanks Kevin.

I think the biggest question is..how much??IMO unless deeply discounted Id pass..The bass and weight is an issue as stated above..Plus tough resale factor

Make sure ALL FOUR woofers were either refoamed (assuming these can be refoamed and I see no reason why not as long as the surrounds are the correct fit) or replaced with the newer rubber surround type. Replacing the woofers is an expensive proposition $1800 for a set of 4 was the quote I received from Egglestonworks.
I was going to get I's and upgrade (for all the reasons French Fries mentions) but ended up getting the II's outright because the upgrade path was prohibitively expensive especially when shipping was factored in - freight is NOT cheap on these 210 lb each babies...

Now all that being said, if you can get a set of I's VERY CHEAP with rubber surround woofers, send them to Eggleston and they will upgrade them to III's (yes the 3's)for $5K(plus shipping). That is an AWESOME deal considering that even a demo pair goes for $15.9K here!
