Darth Vader's speakers?

I picked up a pair of unique vintage speakers and I have no idea what they are. Can anyone help?
The cabinets are black laquer spheres. Each cabinet contains what appears to be 2 12" EV Force woofers and 6 3" tweeters. The guy who sold me the speakers said they were Motorola but I can't find any markings. The two woofers each fire into parabolic cones, creating a nice "surround" effect and the visual effect of Darth Vader's black ti-fighter space ship. There is a heavy eye-bolt so the speakers canbe mounted to a ceiling. I think they may have been a part of a vintage PA system. Can anyone tell me what they are or how to find out?

I don't know what it is but you defenetly need one of these to go with them

The Death Star sub woofer.

Tyson---PA speakers, no doubt. They had a bunch of those things in old Comiskey Park. I ran into a fella that owned a couple, they had EV woofers and piezo tweeters.
 
Just a wild, outlandish guess: Bang and Olufsen (B&O) was heavily into the charcoal grey/black with a narrow red line color scheme for a while. I would expect a B&O logo, albeit discrete, somewhere, though, unless it's been lost.

Again, a wild guess only!
 
Red Leader to Gold Leader.... We are beginning our attack run... Tweeters set to stun.. aim for the center of the woofer...
