If you can get them well away from room boundaries, use a powerful amp with an assertive character (fettled Naim CB or big bad Krell (even a 300 integrated would do rather than Quad for example)) and chunky speaker cables, then you might just get a halfway decent noise from them IMO. This was from the relative period when positec protection was used and a ruler flat response counted for everything and sod the dynamics in the process. The ruler flat response became a mid-bass hump in most domestic rooms and the lack of "verve" could count against it unless you listen exclusively to chamber music and/or string quartets - the 104/2 well sited is tons better and may not cost hugely more perhaps.
They'll cost ya, but some mk2 versions of the JR149's seem well liked and hold good residuals. and many of the non BBC small Rogers' used to get preety fair to excellent reviews too, as did Celestion DL8's and Tannoy M20 Gold and Venus, if you want a civilised personality from your speakers.
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

You'd need a variac or transformer as it's 220v only.

Those flip switches remind me of the old JVC 'JAS11'
