Help me identify these elac speakers


I found these speakers at an auction but they have the wrong model number. Anyone here know what they are. Also, what is that speaker protection thing?

 

128x128apmanable

Have you heard the speakers? Are they difficult to drive and are they worth it for around $200?

No, I've never heard them except for an online video (Youtube?).

I don't recall them ever being available in North America, but maybe I missed them.
