Kindel PLS-As, huh? I sold Kindel stuff as Two Jeffreys Audio in the early to mid-'80s and met Bill Kindel at, I believe, the WCES in Lost Wages. I've had 3 pairs of PLS-As over the years. Here's a pic of one with the grill off.

Here's a pair of stands that an owner in earthquakefornia had built for his.

My local audio store that takes in trades and consignments has a pair of the Kindels in excellent condition for $1095. For most of the rest of the gear you have, check the completed auction prices on eBay and the asking prices on classified ads here at Audiogon and other websites for used audio.

what do you think these speakers and amps are worth? that is the kindel and threshold, i also have a onkyo tx-sr800,kenwood km-z1,two boston acoustics subs vr2000,a set of vr40 and vr12 center speaker,wharfedale diamond dfs four of them,that is just the start.he had sota star sapphire turntable, theta dspro,threshold dc power source,threshold field effect transistor high level preamp and a phohograph preamp threshold also, ok he had about 20 dvd players, recorders and cd players, recorders. i thank you for your help maybe you know someone that might be interested? thank you again mark ariaz

Were the bi-wire end of the cables labeled high pass and low pass? In that case
connect the high passes to the upper pair of terminals and the low pass to the
lower pair of terminals. (Rereading your response, it looks like you figured this
part out.)

Keep in touch with this forum for info and advice, and take your time with this if
you can. Several years ago an audiophile in my area died and his son put his
entire Naim rig (worth $4000-6000) on Craigslist for $250 with the excuse that
he was only going to be in town for the week to handle his late father's estate.
Fortunately several respondents clued him in on the value of what his father had
left and he managed to make a single-buyer package deal for $4500.

no sir father-inlaw had the cables one end plug to amp red and black then other end has two sets of red and black.has low pass and high pass.i think this is the right cables.i thank you for your help, you answered my question. i might have more questions in awhile as i start to put this audio project together he had a lot of equipment some i have to sell that is next too.thank again mark ariaz in cal.

Caps lock key broken?

Your Threshold amps are monoblocks, which means one amp powers one
Kindel speaker each. Kindel PLS-A's have two pairs of terminals on the back of
each speaker. The lower pair goes to the array of woofers (low pass), the
upper terminals go to the tweeters (high pass). From the factory the high and
low terminals are jumpered by small straight wires. The crossovers are built-
in, so with just one monophonic amp per speaker, you don't have to worry
about bi-amping or bi-wiring. Look closely at the terminals. If the jumper
wires are missing, you'll need to add some or use two runs of wire from each
Threshold amp, one for the low pass and one for the high pass terminals.

You need an independent pair (i.e., not strapped to each other) of RCA-
terminated interconnects from your pre-amp, one interconnect to go to the
Threshold amp powering the left speaker and another to the other amp
powering the right.

A store local to where I live has a used pair of PLS-A's in stock. I stopped by
today to look at their layout and and verify with the store owner that the lower
pair of terminals is low pass (to the woofers) and the upper pair is high pass
to the tweeters. The pair I saw is all original including the bottom stands and
wire jumpers strapping the two positive terminals together and the two
negative terminals together.
