Anyone know what these are worth?

I found these at a local yard sale, and picked them up for 20$. I cant seem to find much information about them or what they're worth. I'm currently powering them with my sony amp and cell phone and they sound great.

If they sound great, and you like them, then I would be inclined to say that was $20.00 well spent!!!

There's so much total junk out there with big price tags attached that it's kind of refreshing to hear about when some one scores....

A close up of the plaque on the front would be handy...

Ahh, goo, old fashioned sound equipment, you don't see a lot of that these days...

They appear to be well built speakers, even if they are a few years old. The problem is, with everyone wanting surround sound & powered sub woofers these days, speakers like this are as rare as rocking horse droppings; to replace them (just the speakers, not the boxes) would cost around 10 times what you paid for them.

Good score, hang onto them

Here's a close up on the front plaque, and a picture of the specs sheet on the back. I have a powered 2.1 system in my house with an 8" subwoofer, but it dosent sound as good as these fishers do

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout

A quick google search revealed this:

Quoted from Toms Hardware Forum

Fisher was a high-end American manufacturer. In the early 1970s, they sold
out to a company that basically wanted the name to put on imported junk.
Much like the "Bell and Howell" and "Keystone" cameras that you see today.
The name was worth more than the rest of the company.

That said, Avery made a couple losers too, like the 700T receiver that was
full of Fairchild transistors with manufacturing defects.

I don't know those particular speakers, but I have the full set of Fisher
manuals from 1970 or so around here somewhere and I will go look.
