Richard, these were 16 Ohm units wired in parallel to present an 8 ohm load. The tweeter was an 8 Ohm unit. Rigid intended like a very low compliance suspension, and high QTS near a 0.9 figure. Not so strange, another commercial product ( EPI 500) featured a very low compliance woofer with Qts 0.9 tuned by means of two passive radiators each side of the box.

oh gosh, yes, I mixed the model in my head. Understood on the suspension.. 0.9 is high. interesting. Reading up on them later today for fun.
I actually did wonder if I might try a passive radiator on the top if I tried a single driver for the mid/bass. a not to costly experiment. I'll let this audience know how I progress. Cheers!

Wow. Great data. Is this for the right driver, as I see it mentions D = 125 mm (unless that was measuring distance?). Yes a high QTS at 0.8. Thank you !
Well, my experiments well well-enough ish, but they never sounded as big with only bass driver (also wrong spec for the cabinet) More on that another time.. I was only using cheaper Sony drivers units...and then... I bought a pair of fully functional Winchesters, with outrigger bases.... today!
In the near future I will remove components (and re-install) to document all I can. The cabinets are in 8.5/10 condition for now... Very interested to test the current components for specs as well. Will share.. They have had bypass capacitors installed which the seller stated added more immediacy to their sound (I need to read up on this).
Now I have a foursome of matching wood Castle pairs...
I'll stop now....time to listen more
Some pics in the meantime.. from seller, not in my space properly yet

- Winchester
- Eden (3 sets soon to be 2) (these are too big to really be "bookshelfs".. but on heavy stands they sounds great)
- Severn 2 (thin towers)
- Trent (small bookshelf).
