Sold locally by Paul Heath in the '70s, the same driver compliment as the Rogers LS3/5A. The JR stood for Jim Rogers was the brainchild behind the mini BBC monitor below, and this has the same driver compliment- Kef B110 woofer, T27 tweeter, but in an aluminum cylidrical enclosure and more efficient crossover. The wraparound foam grills deteriorated, otherwise these were basically made to last forever.I still have mine, and will probably replace the grills someday.
Rogers LS3/5A
Several incarnations of this have appeared over the years, the officially licensed BBC monitor.
Chartwell was another well known company at the time that manufactured these along with Rogers. Basically wanted a minimum of 20 watts and a maximum of 20 watts! Mine were the original 15 ohm version. Sold them to a guy in China almost 30 years ago, of course they are worth almost three times as much today!
Still have a pair of LS2's, more efficient but not quite so esoteric.
