What speakers do I have

[GT stang]

Picked these speakers up at resale shop very little marking on them. They have a early Klipsch kg2 tweeter and two 8 inch woofers. What little info on back is SR-8 and made in Fort Smith Arkansas about 3 hours from Klipsch/Hope Arkansas.
Thanks for any help.

I've see this logo before but at the moment can't recall what it stands for, here's hoping someone else might recognize it

I saw the DP on there could not find anything on that and having a Klipsch tweeter throwing me off.

There used to be a company, Design Products Inc. in Arkansas. All I could find about them is they were in business for 40 years.

Fort Smith Man Revolutionizes Speakers

Steve Rader likes his music loud and with loads of thumping bass, yet he holds zero tolerance for any distortion.

I did find out my speakers were made by Steve Rader of Design Products / RM loudspeakers. The article states he did work for Klipsch at one time. I have since refinished the cabinets and replaced one tweeter, one driver and new dust caps on two of them. They sound quite nice now. Some pics of before and after.
