B&W DM220's - worth anything or 'give away'?


I have a set of B&W DM202's that I bought new in 1986. They are mint, but they are definitely old stuff. I just bought a set of 703's and want to get rid of the 220's... turns out there are non listed on this site and it seems there isn't really a market for them anymore.

What to do? I've kept them for so long thinking that they were worthy of having... but now I guess they're last decades news.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Yes defintely give them to me!No I am undeserving.I understand whatyour dillema is.When a speaker is that old what would they sound like when surround crumbles and OEM won't re-cone them and if they did would it be worth it?I know some folks who have had good luck either with kits or having a serviuce insatll generic replacement drivers but with these youmight wan't to give them to your niece to take to school since you'd be disapointed with any repairs.I worked in HIfi shop and it was kind of sad when folks got used to a pice of wquipment slowly failing and didn't even know "buzzing" or other horrible sound WASN'T supposed to be there.But if we could successfully rrpair or replace with new speakers that was nice.Like I said I have empathy since I have thought the same way about stuff where it was a dillema of what to do.
