@mhardy6647 Mark, they are Aspens. Leaf shape & edges, along with bark determine that.
Which exact variety I'm not positive.

Going by the region and the bark, branches, and leaf shape my guess is poplar.

If you leaf through restoration, rehabilitation, and resto-mod threads here, you'll find both wheat -- and chaff.
They're fine loudspeakers and I reckon that careful repair (or, if needed, replacement) of the baffles to accept the proper tweeters, coupled with the 'standard' and well-characterized rehab actions for the early "Monitor series" will net a nice pair of loudspeakers.
Are the woofers (ahem "midwoofers") OK?
Hello, yes the woofers have checked out okay, at least as far as I can tell. Thankfully neither one of them have shifted magnets and I have played music through both, albeit at moderate levels only and they sound fine. Surrounds feel good. Surrounds in the passive radiators also seem to be in good shape.
As far as my plan of attack goes, I am pretty sure I can salvage the woofer and PR. The cabinets for each speaker are also sound (no pun intended) and, all things considered, are actually in pretty good shape, minus the fronts of course. I think with enough care, these can be brought back to their former glory.
