Yes, I remember those well - if memory serves me correctly, the Wharfedale product was inspired by a design in either PW or WW.
It looked something like this (the walls of the concrete pipe should be thicker than they've turned out here, but you get the general idea):
The concrete pipe - or a chimney pot was also suggested as an alternative - sat on feet to raise the base from the floor.
A small circular baffle with a full range loudspeaker was mounted at the top, facing upwards, and a cone was mounted above it to reflect the high frequencies horizontally.
About 2/3 of the way down, a slotted wooden baffle was fitted and the entire pipe was lined with a generous layer of cotton wool or similar, which I haven't tried to portray.
