yes,if you have a line on them get em quick!I owned a pair some yrs ago ,originally I purchased them for around 400.00,I ended up reselling them to a fellow up country for 1300.00,they don't come up often and they really image well,excellent speaker
 
They were at a flea market and I have the contact info. I might have to go back and get them.

I talked to another guy there that said he had a pair of Klipschorns in pretty good shape for $1,000. He said they were missing some of the grill cloth on the side. That sounds like a good deal too but that's more money than I wanted to spend and I think it would be way overkill for my area. Besides I only have one corner.
 
It seems value for these is heavily dependent on having original woofers. If they have been replaced, which is common, I have seen the remaining components fetch about $500, and keep in mind the supertweeters often suffered badly at the hands of children and other inquisitive folks poking and prodding.

True story, I bought a pair once and when I saw them, the supertweeters had obviously been disassembled and incorrectly reassembled with the rings cocked at an angle and the metallized film torn open. I asked what happened, and the owner said "well, I tried to change the lightbulb inside them but I couldnt get them to turn on". He thought they were accent lights.:saywhat:
 
These 1500's have a good following and are harder to find these days. They're really nice sounding speakers. If they are all original, I'd offer $400.00.
 
The 1500s that I looked at was back in April. I didn't buy them because my intuition kept telling me that something was wrong. They may have been perfectly fine but I passed anyway.
