Might be worth a look though to see what they are

My guess is that the speaker grilles are the originals, in which case they are possibly Sansui or Pioneer from the 70s? - unlikely to be a set of Tannoy Golds I reckon...Interesting...

Yep, they look like Sansui's to me, maybe sitting on home made plinths - I know some of the Sansui's had little plinths like that, but those are taller than I've seen before & that's a bad veneer match.

The ebay boxes look a lot deeper than the Sansui's.

Yes - but Sansui made a lot of different models and of all sorts of sizes, over a long period of time. The picture was to illustrate the grilles. Those grilles were hand assembled and finished from wood - real workmanship.
