Pioneer HPM-40 Vintage Speakers


Hi, again.  Newbie here, so please forgive my naivete.  I see an abundance of listings on ebay for quite the nice asking prices.  I wish to sell these locally.  Can't find any listings on Craigslist, again, so wondering if people are not wanting to sell on Craigslist.  If these were your speakers, and they work, what would you sell them for?  Thanks so much!

Pioneer made an HPM150 and an HPM200 also.  I'm old, I sold these at the very end of their retail life cycle.  
The 40's were a bit more balanced than the 100's, but both could get edgy.... I've never measured the 40's, but the 100's were about 90db sensitivity up to around 1k,  then rose 5 or 6 db above that,  the mids & highs were quite a bit hotter.... I never got the impression from the 40's that they were that far off.  
As far as selling,  if they look great, you'll sell them,  if you can find someone with a fond memory of these,  you'll get a decent price,  If not,  its another cheap speaker. They manufactured from 1976 to 1979.  I sold them in 79
