    Hmm. Look like they might be EU made Sony? Wouldn't know the model though. Peerless mid with 'frame' around by the look of it and the tweeter could be a Peerless soft dome with an odd diffuser. Dunno about the bass driver, looks maybe steel frame SEAS or Isophon. These might even be made by B&W for somebody else.

    I'll guess at Pioneer, Sony, Toshiba? Something Japanese and mid/late 1970s.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    Sadly I doubt they have any value other than the drivers

    Ah, well seeing the photos in that link, the bass driver is almost certainly Peerless too looking at the chassis. I've had a few pairs, but mine had bigger paper dustcaps.

    Do they sound any good? Drivers are all decent, would have thought they would be quite a bit better than a lot of the modern 'under a ton' speakers.
