Speakers with no badges usually means "don't do it". They look like cheap and cheerful DIY HT speakers.
This bugs me: "Some drivers still work. At least one high frequency driver needs to be replaced."
Woofers look like generic GRS ones from parts express.

They look like Koss M80's, if I remember correctly... but, don't hold me to that! I've only seen the Koss in pictures.

The Audax tweeters are worth 45 bucks each. They'd cost twice that or more new.
I didn't see that at first, definitely agree with you.:yes:

Those look to be good quality. Can't tell about the woofers but the tweeters look good. It's too bad one doesn't work... but it can be anything. The thing here is that this is a very nice cab! Looks to be good construction. If heavy - then I'd be getting them. As the ad says - great for a project. D'Appolito configuration and two ports (with inserts) lends itself nicely to some speaker fun. Try $25-30. I think there's at least that much value in there if not the full asking or more (if the woofer/mids are good quality).

Whatever they are I'd put in an offer....look to be nice little speakers....
Probably Spheric Helix. Designed as a center channel speaker, 2 4" mids and a tweeter. Original retail in '95 was $100 each.
Info from Orions Audio Blue Book, 1997 edition.
I love that book.

They look like Madisound kits.

I don't think so...........
I glanced at the pics from my phone, and it's been several months since I've seen a pic of the Koss... so I figured I wasn't right. But, they do have a rough "similarity" to them.
Definitely not white van. The cabs and drivers seem to have some style and subtlety. Most white vans that I see try too hard to look expensive, where these simply look to be of a very good quality. Also, not DIY, in the made from scratch sense... possibly DIY, in the "kit" sense that audiomagnate suggested.
I've heard the name, but I'm not familiar with the Madisounds. They could be, though. They do have a kit type look to them.
I wouldn't want to suggest 'My Lifes' certainty on it, simply because it would be foolilsh to do so via nothing other than a pic' however I myself own a pair of the M/80Plus (heavy little buggers too, right?) and those in your pic' are exactly identical looking to mine. If you're still interested in determining their Manufacturer, Model etc' let me know and I'll post some detailed photo's (inside and out) for your comparison purposes.
Spheric was the company and the model is the Helix. Orion's Blue Book has the info.
