Thanks for the replies.

Shipping is the obvious roadblock here. Anything can be shipped, but these are as close to non-shippable speakers that I've owned.

With the refoaming needed I don't think these are minty. Also the covers appear to not be the originals. They don't have those rectangular foam ones I've seen in ad photos.

I also have a nice pair of Sansui SP-5500X that are smaller than these Marantz IM8's, but still big and heavy.

I'll likely tinker with restoring them. I'd like to keep them original, but refoaming is something I have not tackled yet.
