Does anyone know anything about these as I can't find anything.

I had a pair about 25 years ago that my folks got from a car boot, along with a Rotel amp. The rubbers went so they got thrown out. But I've been looking at stuff I can't afford (Vintage JBLs) and was looking up whether these were any good in their day (obviously not as I can't find anything).

No idea, but it’s Decca, which may help to find info.

Op,

As above.

Google Decca Loudspeakers, and see how many results you get. Then try with Deca.

I do apologise, I would've sworn on my kids it was Deca lol. Seems they could have been good, but none that look like the ones I had.

IIRC Decca had an unusual ribbon tweeter in their range. Which will sound different to most.

I do remember the tweeter was purple, but was like a thin clear plastic shaped to a dome.

Then a small mid and maybe an 8" or 10" driver with the rubber surround split on one.

I got a company in Southampton to repair them, but in the end they put Polk units in instead which never sounded as good. I do remember carting both units via to buses to get the speakers from my house to their workshop.
