Actually the wood is oak veneer. The speaker are built from high grade MDF, carefully damped and braced.
The tweeters are Dynaudio D 28 AF, the bass mids and fill drivers are Dynaudio D17 EXTs. Those were, and still are highly renowned drivers, and from a time when Dynaudio were at the top of the game. The speakers were designed using the software of Bullock and White.
When I was monitoring concerts in the Chester Fritz auditorium orchestra members would crowd into the green room at the Chester Fritz auditorium and were highly complimentary of those speakers. They were good speakers in 1984 by any of todays standards and they are still good speakers and there is zero reason to trash them.
That was a time when many manufacturers made their drivers available. It is retrograde that they still don't.
You can down load the 1980s driver catalog here. It is too large to attach. You will see what superb drivers were available at that time.
So the speakers may be 40 years old but are still superb speakers giving excellent results as my surrounds.
Yes, I'm not impressed with what is basically a small bookshelf speakers perched on top of passive subwoofer fed with an insanely large series inductor.
