Interesting observation about my 2.3s

While my speakers are obviously 2.3s, the model next to the serial # reads "SDA SRS 2". Is this common? I have looked at some pictures of other sets and they read "SDA SRS 2.3". I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the compendium. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    It's not rare, most of the 2.3's use the doughnut drivers.

    F1 is correct, it is not rare. Polk still stocks the driver w/ the donut. Its part # MW6513.
