My hunch is, it's a B&W Matrix2 Series2 speaker. I think these were from the late 80's???

No. The first image you provided reminded me of their Matrix series from the 80's so I googled it and found an image seamingly quite similar to your first image. If it turns out to be smaller bookshelf types my apologies.

But this link below is what led to my response to you.

a matrix 2/2 have blue rings arround bass and tweeter. remove the fabric frame and look, or take a flashlight and shine it on the bass blue ring. if not blue no matrix
At that time the most complex speaker housing with very little internal nesting. Dimensions: 600 x 260 x 320 mm (H x W x D)please check
