Very nice, quite a classic of its time but I bet will still sound good now. How did you acquire them?
I don't have any experience of them but this article covers their history and technical details. Assuming it is correct, you will be ok as long as you have a reasonably powerful amp to overcome their inefficiency and that you don't want extreme bass. A good point is that, due to the infinite-baffle design (i.e. they're a sealed box, no ports), you can put them up against a wall and they will (should) be ok
That zstereo site has some good articles about real classic pieces of hifi and is an enjoyable read.
Let us know how you get on with them.

Having a clear out of stuff and have this barely used (been in its box for years) Nakamichi CR-1E cassette player mint in its box. No clue on value, maybe @legrandefromage can help? 
Powers up with its green lights and plays perfectly.

Also have this old boombox!
Sharp GF-9191 in lovely cosmetic condition for its age, around 1978, missing an antenna though. Plays radio and cassette. Lovely tone. Does play tapes as i rebuilt it years ago with new belts and pinch rollers etc and still plays, although was a little squeaky at first when powered up today! A lovely thing that I can’t find (not allowed) a place for in the house unfortunately. Would love someone local to pick it up as it’s a heavy lump and I don’t have a box, but could probably sort something if pushed. These seem to be around £150/£300 on eBay so let’s say around £100…?
