These are unusual.
Is that a custom bass bin ?
I've only seen these with rounded bass units.

There’s a similar pair in Dunedin (MetroCinema?) that have been for sale for the last 15 years or so.
Much nicer condition, but way more $$$ www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-photography/home-audio/speakers-and-stands/floor-speakers/auction-2968851948.htm I guess some cabinets might have been manufactured under license in NZ in the bad old days of import tarriffs... That might explain the difference from the nice walnut / art deco, curved cabinets which I have seen locally (and prefer) as well. Edit... just guessing though! I’m sure Google will know.

Google says there were two models, the familiar round face is the DM70 Continental.
The square face is the DM70 Standard. stereonomono.blogspot.com/2012/12/b-dm-70.html theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?50077-B-amp-W-DM70-rebuilding-an-Icon

I bought a turntable from Metrocinema aka John W about 10 years ago. Was a nice guy to deal with.

Interesting, about the Continental variant MW... Google FTW!
I definitely prefer the classic curved styling. Citroën, I get “This listing closed and did not sell.” As I say, he’s been listing them at that price since about 2007. Be great if he’s finally found a worthy new custodian for them! 😀 www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-photography/home-audio/speakers-and-stands/floor-speakers/auction-117350409.htm
