Imo, it depends on whether these are your passion, your dream, your primary speakers, or a for fun project. If the love affair with them is strong enough, and you are wiling to accept whatever the performance is, then have fun with it.
I had Apogee Caliper speakers that I bought used a while back. I thought I was genius for pursuing them. I don't think I had them six months; complete waste, and the sound was not all that. Like trying to drive a brick, pretty bad. So, be prepared to have to hassle with amps if you want the experience. Historically, this is an iconic speaker, but it's been superseded by such as the King Sound King III, which I reviewed and own. If you must have that experience, I concur with clio99, and you would be best served to look at the Analysis Audio speakers.
Beware falling in love with vintage and ancient tech. It'll cost you, potentially big time. I just did a budget restoration of the Ohm Walsh Model F, and I did it correctly, imo. Low budget (under $400), get it working. Very happy I did not dump big money into it, especially since I have speakers that outperform. It wouldn't be too fun for you to push for a redo, then realize over time that they simply can't do what is imagined. That is a definite possibility, so try not to get caught up in the love affair, nostalgia. Nostalgia kills performance.
