This is a pair of Planet 10/CSS Creative Sound Solutions Mini Monitors. These create a very musical presentation with low powered SET amps as well as SS amps. It is a factory assembled set. The speakers are a single driver design in a specially configured cabinet, referred to as the miniOnken. The drivers are the Mark Audio EL70. I believe these are designated as the mMar-Kel70 design. You can Google Planet 10 for general information and check the following site: http://frugal-phile.com/boxes-CSS.html You can then click on the model number to view the PDF of the cabinet design.These are very clean and natural sounding speakers with surprisingly tight bass. Vocals, jazz, acoustic instruments are vibrant, clear and transparent. They are not meant for loud, heavy, bass thumping music, but can be paired with a fast sub for extended bass. I believe these sold new for $550. These are in perfect sonic condition. The cabinets are finished in a deep reddish stain, and do have a few blemishes in different locations; but the overall appearance is quite respectable in my opinion. These would be great as desktop speakers or for a small sized room. I have been using them in a home office driven by various low powered tube amps. Dimensions: 12"h x 7"w x 7"d
