The 6.5" full range drive units will be Far Eastern OEMs of very average quality and are by far the weakest link in this unit. Ideally. use a pair of decent UK made 1970/1980s Hi Fi speakers - and not these.

Hi
I'm almost certain that this music centre had a tie in with Goodmans in the UK, around 1978. There was a Goodmans branded version, well reviewed in the HiFi press at the time, and the speakers supplied were made in the U.K. by Goodmans, for Hitachi.
