Name That Speaker

I'm looking into a set of Polks that I've seen but can't remember the model. OK here goes...LARGE cabinet, 2 drivers, 1 passive radi and a cool tweeter set-up on top of the cabinet. Name that speaker.

Also, I'm not familiar with the CRS line of speakers. I'm looking into a pair the are pretty mint. One thing I noticed is that each speaker has a woofer / driver on the rear of the speaker. Is this right?

    It's a passive radiator.

    The original CRS speakers have two tweeters whereas the second version, designated CRS+ has one. (The dimensional tweeters on all SDAs were deemed unnecessary and dropped.)
