    SDA's most likely. I would get on the phone ASAP on those. They look like 3.1TL's
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Not even close. Maybe and I mean maybe, Onkyo or Marantz. They look more like something cheaper than that though. The one thing you can bank on is me being totally way off.

    There we some 'late' (more recent model) KLH floorstanders that looked like that. Don't know much about how they would sound..they were a cheaper speaker with big woofers..3 or more ways!

    The guy e-mailed me back once, but never called or e-mailed again... oh well... You guys have a great eye. They do look like Advents.

    Found these photos on the web. Look the same. (Advent Prodigy)

    The top cap and the bottom plate are different. The one in the OP are not rounded edges as yours appear to be. The bottom piece of wood appears different as well. The last clue I have is that at 29 inches tall, the speakers in the ad are taller than the Advent Prodigy by at least a foot, using the light switch on the wall as a reference. Incidentally, they would also be to short to be the 3.1TL's...

    Getting eyes on them or getting a pic with the grill removed will be the only way to know for certain.
