Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Multiple requirements

To match speakers you not only need to get reasonably close on impedance but ideally you also have to get close on efficiency (how loud for a given input) and two other parameters called Q and Resonant Frequency. These last two determine how the speaker interacts with the box. In this case it's Bass reflex and looking at the impedance curve it looks like Fr is somewhere less than 70 hz. Both of those resistance measurements suggest a speaker that is nominally 8 ohms impedance. Finding a 12" woofer with 97dB efficiency and that Fr probably means a Pro Sound type of woofer is your only option. For the tweeter the efficiency number and physical dimensions are probably most important. I would look at either Madisound or PartsExpress web sites. They can advise you further. Hope this helps.
