Polk SDA-1s for $400...mismatched tweeter...near Denver. But it's OK...they're in "good working condition."
I'd probably offer less than $150.

My 3.1TL's get about the same milage as the 2.3TL's, both have their strong points.

Those are first gen SDA2 NOT SDA1 of any kind -
Sorry @pitdogg2! I failed to pay attention to the rest of the drivers after seeing that tweeter. I copy and pasted from the ad, which of course was wrong.

^^^I searched for Polk Audio there and came up with these Monitor 4. I wonder what MW they have? Could be worth it just for those. Too bad they don't have the Peerless tweeters as that would make them a super steal for $75

10A's but I don't think 1976 like seller states. Later. $150

All monitor 4 I've come across had MW6502
There may be some with MW6500 maybe, I've not experienced that. -
Would not be difficult to mod the Mon4 for Peerless tweets. I've had a few Mon 4 and all MW6502 like Pitt stated.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

I have a pair of black basket MW6500 I purchased on eBay that are stamped "M4" by Polk. I was a little worried that maybe the resonant frequency might not be as low as the ones they select for the larger monitors but they sound great in my 7Bs.
So far all the example pictures I have found of the M4s seem to show that they have their own unique and different tweeter from the higher up monitor models.
Oops scratch that......makin' a liar of myself I just found a picture of one with a Peerless. I wonder if that is the one that may have been equipped with the MW6500

Those aren't original passive radiators on these. Looks like they took some from another model and put them in there. Don't know how that would affect the sound as they probably have different specs.Speakers

He also has them on short stands which I presume is to center the tweeters horizontally with the screen.

I have heard folks here say the MW6*5*0*1 is hard to find so when I saw 3 on eBay I thought I'd better post it up here. Hopefully one of us in need gets them, assuming of course they are good ones:
