Waterlogged Thiel CS-3.6

I have been the unfortunate victim of flooding and one of my Thiel CS-3.6 cabinets has been completely destroyed. It has sucked water and swelled destroying the veneer, MDF and all the joints in the speaker. The crossovers are undamaged. I have contacted Thiel, sent pictures and they basically indicated that I would need a new cabinet, this one was not salvageable. Dawn did some looking for me and the have a pair of near mint cabinets in cherry and would charge me $2000 for a full swap of the crossovers, drivers etc.

I cannot decide whether to part out the tweeters, drivers, grills (like new) and the crossovers? They are excellent speakers, but don't know if it’s worth it for 18 year old speakers. Dawn explained they do not produce any of the drivers offered for the 3.6, so they are rather expensive to come by, especially the tweeters.

Recommendations or comments? Or would anyone be interested in the parts? I really don’t know what to do.

Thanks

I would put the drivers, crossovers, etc. up for sale on E-Bay. They would reach a worldwide audience, and you should be able to find a buyer who is in need of them (maybe a cabinet maker?) Take the money you get from the parts and put it towards another used pair if you really liked them.
Did you have flood insurance? Sorry to hear about your loss!
