    Looks like S Series

    Foam Surrounds?
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    Might have been from a HTiB setup. That looks like a laminated Mylar tweeter that was in a bunch of the "low-end" stuff from Polk Audio. I could be wrong though.

    Any pictures of the rear? Most Polk stuff usually has a sticker on the back.

    Certainly looks like a "cheaper" product than what Polk normally puts out. Probably from an HTiB type system. Foam driver surrounds; very thin driver baskets; cheap tweeter and I'm betting the speaker terminals on the rear are the very cheap plastic spring clip type which "pinch" the wire.

    Probably not too bad compared to other HTiB type speakers. Certainly not a worthy 2 channel music speaker.
