Hello all, hopefully this is the right place to post this.
I came across a listing for these german-made speakers - WHD BR 140-1/8 - for 200 euro.
They seem to be in really good condition and the seller is reputable.
Info online for them is very sparse, but they do have a hifi wiki listing, and some additional specs from the seller, roughly translated:

System Configuration
  • 3-way bass reflex system with front-firing port
  • Reference WHD chassis components
  • 25mm silk dome high-frequency tweeter
  • 43mm silk dome mid-frequency tweeter
  • 175mm grooved special paper woofer cone
  • Removable metal protection grilles

Technical Specifications
  • Nominal Power: 70W
  • Musical Power: 140W
  • Impedance: 8Ω
  • Frequency Range: 35Hz - 25,000Hz
  • Crossover Frequencies: 900Hz / 3,500Hz
  • Color: Black
  • Dimensions (H × W × D): 520 × 300 × 240 mm
  • Weight: 9kg per speaker (18kg pair)

Has anyone came across the brand and/or model?
Assuming I'm able to test them out, would this be a good deal?

OK - and well-observed by JW above!

Personally, I'd be very wary of buying speakers so old. If something goes wrong, you are far less likely to find spares, and I doubt the warranty offered will be long. In your shoes, I'd prefer a trip to a dealer to compare a few new ones.
 
Well this is a second hand private person type deal, so I'm not expecting any sort of warranty at all.
Just interested in the possibility of getting decent quality sound with an interesting character by buying cheaper vintage stuff. Maybe this is too expensive an investment for what it is?
I'll definitely take recommendations for better known and durable options.
