That looks like the standard "crossover". 2nd order hf pass on the tweeter, and direct connected main driver.
Minimus 7, is the number one vintage speaker, on ebay.

My (then) just uncrated (still unchipped/flaked/whatever) black finish pair have been in near continuous daily use in one system or another (some with various age kids) without so much as hearing a need for capacitor replacement/upgrade and right now doing just fine watching MONK in stereo on OTA TV, so arguably the best ~$80? I've ever spent!
works OK for well chosen poly or paper cone drivers, but i prefer to go at least 1st order to get a closer match to the tweeter & cut out of passband hash; tweeters I like to crossover an order higher, reverse phase, for power handing and to keep the phase reasonably aligned.
Haha so I just recently picked up a pair of the EPOS ES12, like literally 2 weeks ago (also my first bi-wire speaker) and I love these, let me say again I LOVE THESE!!!!!! amazing sound, never selling these ever to anyone and if I ever find the ES14, I will buy them in a split nano second!!! So into audio semi seriously for the last 10 years or so and I own like a dozen different speakers and these sound the best, they even put the Elac UB5 to shame, you know those speakers that everyone says is amazing? It’s ok for sure / my two cents - also will buy the ES22 too if I ever find one being sold here locally… does anyone know where those drivers were made ? Like for the 12, 14 or 22 ?
