Replace Dyneaudio Tweeters or Sell As Is? Newbie Seeks Advice?

Just retired, clearing stored gear. Have mint pristine solid maple Dyneaudio (Contour 1.8 Mk II) towers and both ESO-Tec tweeters are kaput. Would you put out $500 to replace the tweeters and hopefully sell at Bluebook (if possible) at ~$1,600. Or, would your best guess / recommendation or just try to find someone who would pay less for them as is? Any advice ideas appreciated!

Hi OP!

The diaphragm replacement is your best bet.  You'll sell them for a lot more if they are fully working than for "guess what's wrong" price.

Replacement of tweeters is otherwise a difficult ask, as the crossover is designed for a specific electro-acoustic device.  You can't just go willy-nilly looking at the physical size and get it right. Sometimes you get very lucky though.

I'd suggest that if the diaphragm replacement is not an option you then sell as-is.
