Mission e52 speakers.... any good?

I see a pair of these in what looks to be good shape for cheap in my area. I'm thinking about a replacement for a pair of Quad 12L speakers that i use in small bedroom as extension speakers. The Quads are OK, but a little dull sounding and I wonder if I might like these Missions better? I'd be driving them with a Marantz 2270 receiver. I don't see much info online about these speakers..

I had/have one paire! pretty big sound for such pretty small AND CURVED speakers! Very good for a used price on the market! Futuristic look (especially for the time they came out), but I generally very much like the Mission sound and the interverted woofer on top of the tweeter. My ears find that the sound is more coherent that way.
here is a review with which I pretty much agree: https://www.hifi-review.com/140047-mission-e52.html.
Or here (in Dutch) for a description of the quite unknown series E5: https://www.tesaudio.nl/mission_E5-serie.html. or here a brochure: https://www.tesaudio.nl/mission/brochures/Mission.pdf
Cheers!
