Condition, condition, condition.
Are they raw birch plywood, or finished oiled Veneer? Do they have the original drivers (square or round K-33 woofers)? Have the crossovers been re-capped? Were they in a theatre/night club, or a home?
I have seen them go for as little as $700 for a cosmetically challenged pair, and up to $2,000 for a vintage pair in very good condition.
Viridian is right - They roll off pretty fast below 55hz and after 15,000hz (with the K-77 tweeter). I had a pair while in the service in the mid 80's and found them too un-balanced with their lack of bottom end - Just my opinion.
Sam Tellig did a pretty good review on them about 3 or 4 years ago where he went into some detail about their "polite" top end which he tried to fix with a super tweeter.
Bring a pick-up truck and some help schlepping if you buy them; They are huge!
Below is a link to a forum that will likely have a ton more information. Good luck.
