They remind me of My KLH model 17's from the same era, same size and look ....

Same father, just separated by 15 years of refinement. Henry produced some truly memorable products.
I updated the crossovers using a mix of film and electrolytics (wanted to keep a similar ESR) and added felt damping around the tweeters and cut the stupid metal grill.
Yes eerily similar , the 17's had a better woofer and it looks like a similar or quite possibly the same tweeter. I found a mint pr on Ebay last month was thinking hard at getting it, freshen up the xover and actually measure the raw drivers for data, not sure if i would re design it as my intended final destination was daughter 2 , her first system away from cans, well until after college. :)

Not sure what you mean by "better woofer" since the KLH never produced equivalent first octave response.
Similarly, the ferro-fluid cooled dome tweeter in the New Advent had much higher power handling and far better dispersion than the cone tweeter of the '62 model.
I'm basing the "better" woofer on the type of pulp used, admittedly "conjecture" on my part.

Whatever.
