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.

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.

Many thanks to you all. I have tried changing all the electronics and substituting other speakers using the same cables and all was OK. I appreciate how hard it is to get into these speakers and agree I would do more damage than good. I will try calling the manufacturer to see what they say about fixing the speakers. I think the time has come for me to move on from these but if I can get a good value for them I would be very happy. Thanks to you all for your helpful words.
