    I think they are Tannoy Oxfords? Just not DC so worth about £80 or a bit more these days.

    They’re Tannoy T-125 Oxfords.

    Thread about them on this very forum:

    These Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk.II speakers hold their value. There are a few pairs on ebay at around £1000, which is nigh on what they cost new twenty years ago!

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155427362...QAAOSwiuBj-ms1

    I bought a brand new set around 2003 for a bit under £1200 from Audio T. Didn't keep them all that long, I didn't like them. Nicely built, but raspy treble and boomy bass from the rear port.
