Please help value these speakers

Hi all, 

I hope I can get the help from the audiophile community here. 

A few years ago, my brother in law suddenly passed away at the young age of 47. He left behind his parents and sisters. I am the son in law. 

My brother in law also left a lot of audio equipment. I think he was an active member on Audiogon, though I do not know what his user ID was. His name was Thang. Some of you might have known him.

I would like to sell his equipment and the money goes to his parents. I would like to ask for your help giving me some idea how much the equipment's worth.

At the link below are pictures of his speakers.

I am a new member here, so there could be doubt about my credential. my ebay ID is also xeurom.

Thanks very much.

Can't clearly see the back panel of the Rogers, but if they are 15 ohm versions, they should be worth something like $1750, possibly more depending on how good the cabinets are and if they are in excellent operating condition.  8 ohm versions and the Splendor not so much, but still in the $1K range, again depending.

Condolences and good luck!

If you do an advanced search on Ebay sold listings,you will see that the Rogers can fetch as much as $5000 and the Spendor over $1000. If the Rogers are the gold badge 15 or 11 ohm version then you have gold . Of course condition is a big factor ! Both of those are very collectable. It looks like both pairs have been converted to bi-wire ( not original ) and might effect the value !  
Good luck !

I would think he'd be most happy to have someone like you or another family member keep the equipment and enjoy it as he did.
