I paid $400 for a pair of Type A’s. They belonged to the deceased original owner in Connecticut who purchased them from Audiocom in Old Greenwich (my hometown). I paid an additional $400 to ship them in four boxes via USPS to Florida. The Type A is still a top-tier speaker! If they cost five-figures the moneyphile crowd would love them! Too much of HiFi is based upon price and snobbery!
If you put some money into them, like replacing the tweeters and updating the crossover bits, you’d have a great pair of speakers, but to unload them as is, probably not much. The A’s were my first big, non bookshelf speakers.
They are wonderful speakers. A used pair could be an path to good sound for little money. I believe the woofer surrounds are foam which can rot over time so check them before purchase. Atomic HiFi and TV in Ashland Massachusetts has replacement drivers.
