Canton CT-1000 - Value?

[rockman85]

Ive got a pair of these old German speakers from 1982. They are in pretty good conditions except the grills have a few dings, and unlike the picture below, I have lost the little Canton plastic logo on the bottom. Id call them "fair" condition cosmetically. They were $1350 in 1982, which would be $3600 in today's dollars. I would expect them to be fully depreciated by now from an accounting standpoint but I imagine I could still get something for them. Is $500 unreasonable for such old speakers?

Cantons sounded pretty good. I used to use a set of Canton bookshelf monitors - don't remember the model number now. In any case, do some google and see what they are selling for, and if you can't find a price then sure $500 is a good starting point. If they sell immediately you'll know you started too low, if no one bites then you are too high.

Yeah I'd start there. You'd probably get $200-$300 for them local. Good luck.

If you still have these, I’d be interested.

Here's a Canton 3-way. Don't know if it's comparable to yours.
