Old Vandy 2Cs worth the cheap price for starter?

I have a buddy of mine who does not have the bucks to spend on audio gear. I gave him my old Luxman T-115 tuner, C-120A preamp and M-120A 110 wpc power amp. He also has my old IMF super compact II bookshelf speakers. I have seen some cheap prices on the older Vandy and Alon speakers around and under $500 a pair sold on Agon from people in CA where he lives.

Are these worth it for him to drop $350 on any of these pairs of speakers or any others?

Thanks.
