Value? Vandersteen model II

I have a pair of Vandersteen Model II's of which I am the original owner. There is some distortion on one of the speakers and I am not sure the cause. I would like to pass on the speakers but I am not sure if there is any value left in them. Rather than simply putting them on the street for garbage pick up I would rather sell them or even give them to someone who can fix them and use them. I would appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thanks.

Jafant I wont doubt you heard what you heard.
Could it have been that they were set up with a darker wire or in a room with other pairs of speakers standing along with them?

Your speakers are definitely not curbside garbage. Whatever is the problem, it's almost certainly repairable by someone, even if you don't care to pursue it. Can you locate the distortion to a specific driver in that one speaker, or is it across the board?

JohnnyR-

I heard the Treo / Quattro w/ Ayre, ARC & Aesthetix gear.
Various cables/cords as well. Some Vandy experts say it is the 1st order x-over.

Vandersteen will service and repair any speaker they have ever made.
Contact them directly.

These are not easy speakers to get into without causing damage, best left to the people who made them.
