604's for $9,000

[voice of the theater]

Seems a little steep considering one is obviously a recone with the "wrong" surround etc. Are they worth that kind of money to a collector? I can't imagine they even sound that good with the 2000 hz crossover--really pushing the upper range of that 15" woofer. Hope that's not a sacrilegious statement.....

EDIT: This pair is at least matched and look to both be all original and the cabs are a work of art! I can see a collector with money to burn paying the asking price for these (but I guess the first pair is much more rare?). Anyone know what the crossover frequency is on these (does the 1000 mean 1000 hz)?
