Yes, these are the Nuclus Minors. The only place I've ever seen them reviewed is the July l966 issue of Audioi Adventure, p. 40. The reviewer (Dayna B) liked them, said in her conclusion:
" ... these speakers are a must-hear for a musically satisfying, holographic experience. If your speakers provide an image so real that you think you can reach out and touch someone, maybe you won't be missing anything out of this world - but I doubt it. These are the speakers that wil scoff at surround-sound and all its complexity...." Their imaging was called "utterly spooky."
Rated sensitivity was noted at 88dB at 1w/1m with 8-ohm nominal imprdance and 6-ohm minimum, an easy load to drive even with single-ended triode amps. Price as listed at $895 (a pair, I presume).
If you like these, you'll absolutely love the Nucleus Reference (2 balls per side) and Ultimates (4 balls). I have the Ultimates and am driving them with 12 wpc SET monoblocks. Haven't yet heard anything I like better.
