Tannoy Arden - any comment?

I bumped into a pair of Tannoy Arden 15" drivers on Yahoo Auction. The edges of the Ardens on Yahoo have been rewrapped with non-original material by the seller.

Would be grateful if someone could tell me how they sound. I listen to vocals, pop music, orchestra most of the time. How much are they worth the most these days, given their age?

Thanks!

Chris

TO Islandmandan:

the drivers and crossovers are worth more than the Ardens as a whole<---that's really interesting and a bit unbelievable!

The link is really useful.
Thanks

Hi, Thank you for reply.
"edges have been rewrapped" I mean the edges have been refoamed. Due to age, the edges of the speakers were broken so the edges need to be reconstructed.

To Dan,

Thank you so much for your comments. I can see a lot of other models on Yahoo such as Stirling (TW, TWW, HE, SE), Greenwich, etc which are of the same price range, yet I can't find anywhere on the net telling us the difference between these models.

Do you know anywhere that tells us their differences in acoustic performance? I listen to pop, female vocals, orchestra most of the time.

Thanks
Chris
