Thanks for that - they look quite respectable, and not a bad price for a pair, including delivery. Tempted to pick up a set...

I might be wrong, but that looks like a Mitsubishi logo on the back? As they are shielded, perhaps there were made for CRT TV sets or similar (the usual market for elliptical speakers in recent times)? As you suggested earlier, PC speakers also seems likely - perhaps more so, thinking about it...

The cloth surround suggests a reasonable amount of travel, so an appropriately tuned enclosure is most likely the missing link here.

So, definitely some potential for a future project. Perhaps a bench amp? My one gets a lot of use when fault-finding and designing stuff...
