Little update on this. I visited the Naim forum (with some fear and trepidation) and I have learnt a lot. It would appear that my father removed the crossover box from the speakers, setting them up for active. This means to get these speakers working I will need two power amps, an electronic...

Hi, thanks for the input. I think they were originally used for bi-amping. I think, to start with, I will bi-wire.
