vintage(?) MTX home speakers?

Could these be actual vintage era MTX speakers? Are they Kabuki under the skin? Anyone ever heard these/owned these?

IIRC, you could buy MTX home speakers at Sears & Lechmere. Mitek (MTX) tried a lot of different things before they settled on mobile audio. Pretty sure it was Mitek that made the ZSE (zero stored energy) panels from 15 years ago too. (As an aside, they currently own Atlas/Soundolier PA products.)

Thanks for the info. So, are these any good at all? I know sears isn't known for high-end audio, but you never know what a company may turn out. I was thinking these may be ideal for a friend who needs a setup for their new studio. If they are at all decent.
