The cabinets remind me of Lancer 101, but the driver layout isn't. It looks like the tweeters are newer titanium domes.




 
Lancer 101 - maybe someone modded the drivers ...

The Lancer 77 had an LE10A, PR10 (passive radiator), and an LE-20 tweeter.

Looks like someone updated the woofer and PR, or at least their foams, changed the tweeter for the titanium unit, put them in a Lancer 101 cabinet, and used Lancer 55 (or look alike) grills.

A real "duke's mixture" here.

That makes me wonder about the xovers.
 
That paler bottom piece of wood does suggest homebrew. How do they sound?

They are for sale locally, I doubt I'll get them, but they are curious and seem well made. I'm not sure how far the cabinet volume is off from the smaller lancer the drivers came from. I would hope the xovers were adjusted.
 
Those are Dorian cabinets - I've had two pairs, though never with the potato masher tweeter. One pair had the cloth grills - ugly, but little effect on the sound, the other had the fretwork grills, which require a major increase in tweeter level, and even then don't sound as good as without grills.
The pale wood I was mentioning is the bottom of the cabinet - it's black in Maiden's picture of the Dorians, and sort of pinky hued in Fred Garvin's picture. The discontinuity - everything else either black or walnut - makes me think its a DIY, though of a high order of skill.
