It sounds like you're trying to build a collection of every type and variant of loudspeaker that has any connection to the BBC

That would, of course, be a very interesting collection.

But under what circumstances would you like to hear them? You're well into the territory where room differences and positioning differences should be very significant compared to the differences in amplifiers and speakers. If you went somewhere to hear a pair, your experience would be shaped a lot by the room they were in and its furnishings. The BBC were quite careful in designing their speakers for their target environments. So if you want to hear what they were intended to sound like, then you wind up having to remodel your lounge as a control room. (Or restore an OB van to keep in the drive for the smaller models?)
