ESS Heil Air-Motion transformer model 1-D set of speakers
I usually check ebay before listing anything to get a low-ball price estimate. Just sell the components if shipping. Tweeters could fetch about $300 to $400 a pair, woofers $100 to $160 each depending on condition. Good luck.

Shure V15 III getting sound in one channel only
Swap the top 2 wires, red and white to see if sound goes to the other channel. If so then the cartridge is probably bad.  
Help
Sorry to hear that. I’m not a fan of Rotel amplifiers in general, they always seemed bright. B and W’s are fine speakers, I would try another amplifier.  
Can cables have a shelf life?
subaruguru - Thanks for the post, very interesting. 👍  
Can cables have a shelf life?
No. Be sure not to move them once you start the burn-in.🙃  
For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces?
+1 for horizontal bi-amping with active crossover. Better yet tri-amp!  
125W @16ohm, what amp?
Meyer makes good stuff. You might want to consider McIntosh to help smooth the sound.

Sounds like the seller knew about it, I would contact him or her. Maybe contact the manufacturer and see what they say. I would bet they would repair for less than $300. Good luck.  
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Justin Hayward at Golden State Theater in Monterey. Great show and sound system is much better than Vina Robles!  
which is a better speaker
According to the info I have Altec had 512 studio monitor installations versus 256 for JBL in 1973.  
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?
+1 jasonbourne52 - I completely agree with both posts! I personally wouldn’t waste  my time setting up the 901’s in a treated room, you’re going to have even less high frequencies.  
Why? (Does the signal degrade in this circumstance...)
I’m guessing here. Most good preamps short the inputs whenever another source is being use to reduce noise. Yes so you’re reducing impedance.  
Bi-amping with Kingrex T20U (or Similar Tripath) ?
Yes what speakers are you going to use? To make it worthwhile you should use an active crossover so you limit the frequency band each amp has to produce.
