ESS AMT1 Tower speakers. Using Heil Air Motion Transformer pleated ribbon tweeters. Very nice. I've heard these transmission line speakers, The sound is amazing. A very reasonable £499, in south London.

You might struggle to get replacement drivers, but may be possible to salvage the existing ones. Worth a go for 99p, I doubt they will fetch more. JVC brand is very under-rated in general.

They're worth that just for the cabinets. That metal ring around the tweeter should make replacing the tweeters fairly easy for anyone with a router and a drill press. You could alter it for a lot of different ones. I bet the woofers sound really clean in a sealed box assuming the voice coils aren't cooked.

Do you know if the cabinets are real wood, veneer or vinyl?

I think they're veneer. All of the JVC ones I've seen from that period are. Probably particle board underneath.

It looks like veneered chipboard , judging by the corner off the back of the one ,but I see they have gone now

I would say yes if you need the stuff. Those turntables can be pretty sketchy, and the CD player isn't the best. Neither one is really worth repairing if they die.
