I remember those. Based on Goodmans drivers originally then they started using foreign tweeters & mids if I recall. Supposed to sound quite nice. There was a bloke in Ealing about thirty years ago who assembled them and sold them from a shop there. Not sure what he had to do with Radford though.

They look quite normal, for those speakers!
10" Goodmans bass unit, Peerless DT10HFC tweeters, and soft dome mids, probably Peerless too. An earlier version used Goodmans paper cone mids instead of the soft dome mids. Pretty good speakers.
