That could be a stock picture from the store. I would for sure call first and then check pricing. Midwest speaker often uses a stock picture for similar adds, sometimes the speakers in the picture were sold long ago. Using the same picture helps in advertising and search engine results. It keeps things trending. The pictures do change, but often overlap to keep the trends and associations with search engines. They usually have current pics for specific items.
The pricing can be high as well. That is not to say some deals can't be had, and they do sell the speakers eventually. I think some haggling is involved. -

What model tweeter is this? I've not seen that type before. Looks a bit like a semi horn loaded SL-2500. -
Somebody painted them black as well.
-
Sl1500 i believe they are mylar

Sl1500 i believe they are mylar
Good to know.
Just out of interest, would they be replaced by the RD-0194, 0198, or just not be replaced? -
194 but the 194 face plate is more than likely larger.
The RD-0194 is NOT a direct replacement. -
If I'm not mistaken, the sl1500 is the series replacement for the tri-force tweet.

Practically in my back yard.....
Fortunately I already have a pair already and don't have the budget for a 2nd pair at this time. Would be a nice pair for someone to pick up though and hopefully they are pin/blade speakers and not blade/blade... -
@la2vegas,
Nope 1987 and newer have pin/blade. I lucked out so far all my SRS's have pin/blade setups.

@la2vegas, I love the home made jumper on the one....
Yep! If you wanted a pair of SRS2's those are the ones to get.... In fact it was my pair of 2's that started this whole Polk obsession thing for me (plus it didn't hurt having some nice enablers to converse with on line) LOL!
If I didn't already have a pair I would seriously consider these. -

Right in my own "back yard"!
Those "In my back yard" ones are the worse. At least if they were a state or two away you would have more of an accuse not to get them...
However I do think that is way too high for those. I picked up my pair of SDA1 studios in black about a month ago. They were on my local Craigslist for over a month and no one bought. So I felt sorry for the poor things. I paid $120 for mine with all the cables included..... I'd think $200 to $300 tops or less would be more realistic (but I am not sure about your market out there). -

If it was close to me, there would be a few people wanting that combo for darn sure!Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
