B & W DM1 speakers

I spotted a pair of these for sale in my local record shop £100. EMI bass unit, celestion 1300 mid and coles tweeter I believe. Does anyone own a pair or know if they are any good?

I owned a pair and I wish I'd never sold them.
As a devotee of BBC type speakers, they have many of their characteristics.
The bass end is a little 'underplayed', but near to a wall the balance is good.
The mid and top are open and sweet.
After all, my BC1s have the same units.
If you buy them and don't like them I will buy them from you!
