The Bush radiogram used 2 loudspeakers of different design each side for a reason. The larger round speaker to handle "low notes" and the eliptical speaker had a special component connected between it and the bigger one called an electrolytic capacitor. Its purpose was to remove or filter out the "low notes" so that only high notes were reproduced by it.

In a modern or high end radiogram, the high notes would be reproduced by a specially designed loudspeaker called a tweeter. Having said that, the bush eliptical speaker will not have the same sensitivity (loudness) as the round one and possibly may have been designed specially for high notes otherwise known as its frequency response.

Should you use them together with the existing capacitor in a home made enclosure, the sound will not be as good as a modern bookshelf loudspeaker and of course it would be mono.

Should you build a cabinet for each to make a stereo system, the sensitivity or loudness of the different loudspeaker designs will make the stereo effect off centre. In addition, the reproduced sound will be strange as the speakers have a different frequency response as described earlier.

On the plus side, there may be a BVWS member who needs a replcement Bush SRG91 loudspeaker!
