    Do you mean those Altec speakers advertised with Rod Stewart,
    back when he was a rocker and not a wanna-be Lounge Lizard?

    The loudspeakers were obviously set up for maximizing acoustics while rolling around on the floor with Britt.

    Looks like a Harman Kardon Eleven preamp! Maybe a Thorens 125 but no clue on the rest of the units.

    I know it’s called the sunrise but it always seemed more like a sunset for some reason.

    Not so much up on modern art but very much intrigued with the use of color by the impressionists. This work in particular was in the vanguard of the genre.

    Honest Answer? Not very much to me - but I'm not buying ...

    Truth - It depends on the condition and on market ...
    I know when trying to sell regular JBL speakers -
    they go for different prices depending on where in the country (& where in the world) they are for sale.

    Also depends on how the economy is doing.

    A good marketing campaign may help - teaching folks what that speaker is and why it is valuable ...

    Also - take GOOD PICTURES of what you have for sale ...

    Are you BUYING? or SELLING?

    It would also help for you to read this thread ...
