Vintage Speaker Identification—Utah?

[BassKulcha]

I saw these today—the magnets didn't seem very beefy (though maybe they were alnico?) and the crossovers looked a little janky to me (though limited space and WAF were the ultimate deciders, really...)

Couldn't find a similar drivers or baskets online, though someone mentioned they were Utahs. Cabinets look DIY or perhaps a kit. They are any good?

The woofer basket has a Vitavox vibe about it...

Was that a single cabinet? Somebody with some good skills built those. The crossover, especially, looks really nice. At the right price I'd have to have those.

A search shows many ITT raw speakers. Most of them seem to be made in Germany, a few seem related to Nokia in some way. Somebody here will know the story.

Here's a blurb from an earlier AK post:

"ITT was a American company that never manufactured anything themselves.Instead they bought companies(now why does that sound familiar?).In fact 300 at the most.
In Europe their biggest branch was in Germany."

That driver looks coaxial, might be ITT brand. Any numbers visible on the frame?

Not identical, but the bell housing looks similar.

There were two, actually. If I had more space to tinker I would've picked them up—they weren't a steal, but I could've negotiated a bit. Alas, NYC is not the place to hoard speakers (and stay married, that is ...)
