My Sony FH-215R boombox is even overkill !
Ha, my bedroom system is a Hafler power amp, Proton Pre, Technics 1200 & large Energy standmount speaker, and for back up a Yamaha M-70 and pre. There is no such thing as overkill with amps and power, different story with speaker sizes in rooms.
amazing design 
wish i had something like this
amazing how it still looks decent 30 yrs after its made (i cant keep anything -_-)

That's a great price, they would probably be gone in minutes.
I snagged a pair about 2 weeks ago for $20 at a local thrift that usually sucks.
I usually only stop by this place once every week or two and almost never find anything, not even a cassette tape. This trip was different, as soon as I rounded to corner and could see the electronics section from about 80 feet away I instantly knew what was on the floor, HPM-100's. I think I was knocking old ladies to the floor as I was speed walking towards the HPM's.
They aren't mint but they are in good shape and none of the drivers have any damage.

I bought a pair of these speakers a while back from a guy at work who bought them new, think they are the 100 watt versions, I had to replace the tweeters as they were blown. I used a pair of Dayton silk domes, they sound really good. Not as clean as yours though. I have them on a pair of stands I made quick for my Klipsch's that another guy at work gave me. I'm running the Pioneer's off of a old Sansui G-5500 receiver, they are so loud I haven't had the volume above 4. Turntable is a JVC QLY55Fand have a tascam 302 dual deck while my Aiwa AD-F990 gets repaired.
some pics below:
here's my turntable before I got it from my friend , it's in good shape but the dust cover has some big scratches, I'm using an older Ortofon cartridge in it:
