Default Unknown Loudspeaker

Despite searching the web, I cannot establish the make of the attached loudspeaker.

Can anyone help?

The speaker is housed in a DIY cabinet together with its "sister" mid/high frequency unit loaded/isolated in a tube.

Looks like a Wharfedale to me.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had a characteristic green felt gasket sealing it to its baffle.

Nick.

That looks like a Wharfedale 'Unit 5' 3-speaker kit. I remember buiding a pair back in 1970 and enjoyed them for many years.

ISTR it was the kit version of the Dovedale. Pretty decent performer.

And the tweeter will have little black biscuit in front of its pink-blue translucent dome...
