I think I was around 14. I bought them with money I made from my paper route, because the stereo shop selling them gave paper carriers a 10% discount on all purchases.
They are not match for today's M60/80 as far as full range sound is concerned. However, they have that very same neutral sound in the mids and highs that I love about my M80's.

My youngest was born in 1986. The same year as the Challenger disaster. Talk about a blast from the past.

The woofers seem to have foam surrounds. Are they foam, and if so, how have they held up?

They didn't. I had to replace the drivers about 2 years ago. Axiom was really good about it though, they had the drivers in stock. I think it was around $100 each shipping included.
There was no way I could buy a new pair of speakers of equal quality for under $200. So I replaced them. Here's hopping to get another 20 years or so out of them.
