Help me identify speakers - AR90s? Value and replacement cost?

HI All,

First time poster and need advice. I am moving from Germany to Switzerland, and my current set up is very big and heavy. I inherited this set up from a past girlfriend's uncle, so it was free. I'm mixed between selling it and replacing it once I arrive, or lugging it down there with me (I'll have a van and do the heavy lifting myself).

From my research I believe I have Teledyne Acoutic Research AR90s, powered by a Bang & Olufsen Beosound Ouverture and Beolink Passive (55W) amp. Can anyone confirm from the pictures that the speakers are indeed AR90s? And I've never seen any in White. 

What might the resale value on this set up be?

And if I replace in my new city, I don't need this kind of power, but nice clarity and quality would be nice. What might a replacement set up cost?

From the spatter spray on the back panel, I suspect that the white "finish" is a DIY job.

Thanks @kr4 , yes that would explain it and make sense.

Am I under powering these with the 55-60 wpc of the beolink passive? I've read they may sound even better with like 200 wpc?

Ugly! Time to get out the paint stripper! Yes they will sound better dynamically with more power. I would sell them and the B & O gear and buy new stuff like a streamer (Wiiim Pro) and powered speakers.
