Two Polk Audio Floor Speakers

He says these are "Monitor" series, but I wasn't aware of any Monitors that had 4 midrange drivers. Are these actually SDA's?

    you don't see those up for sale very often... and hardly talked about in the forum. I don't know anyone who owns a pair..

    they are not SDA's, even though they kind of look like small SDA's. they are not though.

    Hilarous, the one picture with the cover off ... they are on a glass shelf, kind of makes them look 10' tall and 4' wide

    Actually...I believe they're on a partial wall/window ledge. You can see this a lot more plainly in the pic with the grille on.

    I dunno if it's just me, but this design seems like it's got too many woofers and not enough tweeters. Am I speaking crazy? Looks like mids might be too emphasized.

    Might be, but at that distance the SL2500's look identical to the RDO's. Closer pics/seller confirmation would be needed to know for sure.
