There are probably small folk or jazz clubs around that would love to have these. Also a newly formed teen rock group could also get some really good use out of these speakers. Have you tried Ebay or Craigslist? Even some churches could use them for a social hall or for portable speakers for rallies. I think there are a lot of uses for them "AS IS". Hope you get some good money for them.

1. Drop the price
2. Craig's List for a local sale

If you itemize when you do your taxes, a $350 deduction could be as good as money. You might want to consider donating them to a charity.

Unfortunately, we're too healthy to itemize.

I have advertised these speakers and seen the same bunch of other peoples' large PA speakers on the local craigslist for months now, so it's not just my speakers that nobody wants.

I actually have talked to several groups about donating these, but they too have balked because of the large size.

Strip out the 15 inch woofers and advertise them on eBay as rare custom "thumpin bass subs" for a 1990 Honda Civic!

If your local CL isn't happening try the GS sales forum w/ local pickup, or decide how far you are willing to drive them. Besides dropping the price the only other option is donation to a non-profit and take the tax savings (it you itemize). With some gear it finally becomes worth more to get the space it takes up back than it is to make any money on it. I've had good experiences with CL Free.

If all else fails, hang 'em up in the garage and hook up a pawnshop Pioneer 20w receiver... it worked for my old Bozaks...
