Do these look familiar? They seem to have the polk SDA shape. I have emailed the seller to see if he can give me any more info. TIA

    Wood sides like those aren't typical SDA.

    Vandersteens have a look similar to some SDAs, but IIRC, usually are covered in grill cloth on at least 3 sides.

    Looks like the top edge is beveled; SDA's never came that way.

    IIRC MCS = Modular Component Systems

    Not going to sound like any SDA I've ever heard.

    Very odd selection of drivers... and a very odd passive radiator. Wonder what the internal cabs look like... is it all one box, or are they separated?
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Yeah, that is the info he emailed to me. The listing originally had no info about brand or type. Thought they looked a bit like SDAs and thought I would ask the experts and see if I could make a steal...Looks like a no go, tho. Thanks for the info.

    I don't think it had all the info when the ad first got posted. I think all it had was just the picture of the speakers with the grilles on too.
