They're just chassis, no cabs. They were used - AFAICR - in stage monitors so
I suspect they have a fairly large range on them although, like you I can't
find much info on the interweb. I seem to remember they were associated with
Cadac in some way and the Cadac studio monitors I heard - around the size of a
largish wardrobe - were, at the time late '70s, very good. I suppose I could
take my Tannoys apart and put them in instead of the monitor golds but I'm not
certain they'd be better...

I just wondered, after all, in amongst all the static, there is a fair amount
of experience in this NG


Idly wondering whether they might be any good as bass guitar drivers,
I found this:

Yes, I saw that when I was trawling around, That;s not my recollection though.
At that time there was plenty of choice and they weren't cheap - for the time
- so I doubt they would have survived as they did if they were shocking. We've
all come across people criticizing wrongly set up equipment.
