As owner of a set of these, I wonder if they are rare to find and of any worth??
They are not mint, but ok after 50 years use.

Had not been able to google them anywhere else than BeoC & BeoW - no ones for sale..

There were a pair on eBay a couple of weeks ago but I don't think they sold.  They had small feet on the bottom too.  The market will determine the price.  I'm sure they could do with refurbishing to get the best from them.

Do you have any pictures of yours?

Dave.

Speaker Type L is not extremely rare but not the most common speaker either.
It was the two-way baby brother to Type M and Type S, primarily meant for use with
the last valve-based receivers and amplifiers, with which they actually
sound reasonably well as most of the vintage B&O speakers do.

As with almost any other vintage electronics, the value on the pricetag is not
something, you can look up in a catalogue.
Generally, the older things are worth what people are prepared to pay.

They are vintage speakers and even if pleasantly sounding, they are not particularly
close to being HiFi so mainly of interest to vintage stereo and B&O collectors, I'd say.
On auction like f.e. Ebay a nice pair of Type L could fetch anything
from 20 to 200 euros. Maybe a little more if the right buyers are around.

Thanks guys

I guess I'm joining the vintage meeting by Lauge near Kibæk tomorrow and try to trade them to something else.

I have been looking into his amazing collection several times (it's nearly in the neighbourhood) but can't remember seen them there,
so he get the first shot.at them. 

Rgs, Leif
