I sold many of these way back in the '70s and I was impressed then. The only trouble I found was the finish. Stay away from the fake mac-tac wood finish and go with black. Much more authentic. The sound is fullbodied, but lacking in super low bass. Rated at 60w, they are happy with much lower powered amps. However, a cautionary note. The tweeters need a good quality amplifier, such as Rotel or Cambridge to keep them alive.
