Reference 3A speakers

Hello,
My brother got me some speaker cabinets as a gift. They had no drivers and did not say any brand name on them. They just said master control MMC Serie Master. I found out that they are Reference 3A speakers, because they look identical. I also found another forum where the speakers looked exactly the same, but had a sticker which said Lounden, France and reference 3a. I hear that there was about 100 pairs of this type of speaker made; not sure if that is true or not. Anybody have any idea on a ballpark of how much the drivers would cost? or where I could get a grill also?v Looking forward to listening to them; they will be the best speakers I have owned. I just need an amp of equal caliber now.
peace,
Matt

This would be the most logical place to start?

They are (or should I say were) great speakers but I do not think you will be able to get drivers for them, unless you get lucky on ebay. Reference 3A has had a complicated past. The speakers were designed by Daniel Duhay or Dehay or something like that and were made in France and/or Switzerland in the 80s/90s before the brand was sold/moved to Canada. You might also find some information under Innovac from Switzerland. The magazine/-zine UHF from Canada has information. The Master Control monitor was also sold in combination with an iso-baric loaded passive subwoofer as an early two piece bass cabinet/monitor top speaker.

Just curious - can anyone explain why audiophile speaker cabinets would be floating around while missing their drivers?
