I might be wrong here, those bass units don't look like the usual Goodmans units. They might be right, but certainly different from the ones I've seen.

They are a squared frame version of the bass unit used in the Mezzo, which had a bi-radial frame front. The Radford is not vinyl skinned as per most Goodmans bass drivers of the time, it is doped. I believe it is very similar to the Achromat 400 bass unit, as may be the midrange. They even used an ABR derivative in the Dimension 8.
(and I do recall Cooper Smith)
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

These are the Goodmans bass units I've usually seen in Radford 180's

Blimey, you remember Cooper Smith, it was a good amp, the Prodigy, but only mono.
