I know very little about these speakers, but here is what I do know. Speaker #1 sound/hardware: The woofer seems to work fine, but has a quarter sized hole in the middle of the driver. There is very little sound coming from the tweeter and the mid has no sound. The cover on the mid has also detached, but is still included (see picture). The MID/HI adjustment knobs seem to have little or no effect. One of the speaker terminal knobs appears to be rigged from different parts. Speaker #2 sound/hardware: The woofer has a rattle sound, but works. The tweeter sounds okay, but may be a little muted? The mid also does not work, but the grill is attached. The MID/HI adjustment knobs also seem to have little or no effect. Both speakers have numerous scratches, stains, scuffs, and chips. That being said, they are not garbage and could be presentable with some TLC. Most of the damage is on the bottom or back sides of the speakers. The fabric speaker covers are stained and one has a small tear. They were attached with small finishing nails on the corners. PLEASE Let me know if you have any questions. I reached the limit for the 12 pictures, but can describe, replace, or find some way to get you the information needed.
