Do you recognise these speakers?
The seller doesn't know, there is no label on them. There is a Celestion driver and another English made driver by R&A? The cabinet seem to a very good build. Even if the drivers were not very good there could be potential to put something nice in them.

Back then you bought cabinets and drivers separately so they are probably made by a cabinet company or DIY. Looks like one Celesion driver has been replaced. I reckon a pair of Wharfedale DDs or Goodman's Axioms would be good in them.
It looks like there is some sort of variable loading by opening the doors at the bottom a different amount to suit the room. They might have metal sliders in them to hold to the desired angle.

Looks like a DIY cabinet on closer inspection. The 2/2 measurement and seem like a silcone seal in the joints.Originally Posted by Lawrence001

It would be interesting to see more views of the interior. The baffles appear to be at an angle.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

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.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I assumed they were single driver speakers with one of the pair having been replaced. I put the angle down to a variable horn loading into the doors at the bottom.
This assumed the third photo was taken from above but looking again you'd have to take the tops off and they look pretty solidly stuck on.
The silicone is a later attempt to seal the cabinets maybe the old glue was drying out.
But this could all be wrong, hard to tell without getting hold of them or seeing more angles.
