I would definitely buy them, if it weren't such a drive. Though, I wonder if the EV's are original?!? JW Davis is a Dallas-based company that manufactured their own drivers...

JW Davis is a Dallas-based company that manufactured their own drivers...

It is/was also a nationally distributed maker of fine furniture and cabinetry from the 1870's thru at least the mid 1900's.

I'd wager that the "Davis" in this instance was a cabinet maker. A quick search suggests there were many companies(probably nearly all unrelated) across the US associated with cabinet/furniture making bearing the Davis name.
