I would grab them if in good working condition ........
if they are original Vandersteen 1 series they could be 30 years plus old that being said they are still a unique Boxless Phase and time-aligned design that may bring some joy into your music world.
Placing them a foot out from the wall with just a very small bit of toe-in.
Place speakers so that your listening area is in a triangle or 20 percent out of it. Put a deck of cards under the front of each speaker for a bit of tilt back and find some used Audioquest speaker wire type 4 or CV 4 and AQ cheap source interconnect Red River Put on your favorite music after 4 days of run-in, you will know what’s up enough if its time to source a pair of Bases that will step up the clarity to another level. As an experiment, you may want to remove the other pairs of speakers way out of that area as they will sponge off the clarity of the particular speakers you are trying to evaluate.
