These are pretty bad based on the pictures. I will try to upload an image.

Apply some painter's tape along the side where the back and sides meet. Use yellow carpenter's glue and work it under the veneer with a thin blade screw driver. Use a piece of 3/4" plywood as long as necessary to cover the length of the repair and about 6 or 8" wide as a caul. Let it overhang the edge a half inch or so. You can either clamp along the edge or if you have heavy weights, place on top of the plywood caul and allow to dry for a couple of hours. Wipe any squeeze out of glue with a damp rag.

Thanks for the responses so far! Any ideas why this happened to this pair and Dunlavys in general? High humidity perhaps?
High humidity and low grade adhesive.

That will be a challenge-
Next question- How good are your woodworking skills?, and part 2: how much do you want these speakers?
They can be repaired. It will take patience and careful work.
some good clean lumber as clamp faces -
but you may well end up removing is first and re-preparing the surface.
and choosing the glue will be important.
Hide Glues were traditional, but over MDF/HDF you may want to use a contact cement which is just plain messy...
Happy Listening
