they look a good bit like my RS 325's, but the grille cover is inset on mine, so scratch those off the list...cabs look similar though..Infinity proved to me they can make speakers with amazing sound quality in this size... I love mine..good luck
Having owned all three (Reference One, RS-225 and SS2002), they look like Reference Ones. The terminal cup on the reverse should have the speaker name on it.
Reference One has a round terminal cup. RS-225 has a square terminal cup. The Grill on a SS-2002 has a silver edge around the grill border and the word Sterling on them. I don't think I have seen a SS2002 that is oak colored. All the Sterling speakers were black (and made specially for Circuit City, IIRC).
The only difference between the three are the cabinet volume (Ref One has smallest), and the tweeter driver and crossover point. The SS2002 and RS225 tweeters are one half inch, Reference One's tweeter is 3/4 - all Polycarbonate. They all use the same 6 inch IMG woofer cone. I have purchased several for the six inch drivers to use in repair of my Reference Sixes.

they look just like the Reference Twos I just bought today
All the Reference series cabinets have that beveled front edge into the grill. I am pretty sure the name is embossed on the terminal cup.
The main difference between Reference One and Two is the woofer size: 6 inch vs 8 inch and crossover frequency (4000Hz vs 3000Hz). Without measurements or a picture with the grill off, it is tough to say. With the grill off, you could make an estimate of the tweeter diameter versus the woofer diameter and know for sure which one it is, since they use the same tweeter (902-4606). 2x the tweeter mounting flange width will be more than the width of the 6 inch woofer and slightly less than the width of the 8 inch woofer.
From Infinity Tech sheet:
Reference One's dimentions are: 14-1/4"H x 9"W x 7-3/8"D
Reference Two's dimentions are: 18-1/4"H x 10-1/2"W x 9-7/8"D

They look like Reference 1 or 2. Can't really differentiate between the two in the photograph. I have a pair of Ref 2s in my garage system. They sound very good for such small speakers. If these speakers are in your possession, it will have the model labeled on the back of the speaker.
I've changed my mind. I think they are Reference Twos.
From the dimentions I posted earlier, the ratio of the width to height is 1.5 for Reference One, and 1.8 for Reference twos. In the first posted picture, the ratio is greater than 1.5.
I am holding a cabinet for a Reference One in my hands now and the aspect ratio H:W is lower than shown in the picture.

Sorry to keep everyone in suspense. I picked them up and they are reference ones.
Unfortunately, one of the tweeters is out of comission. I suspect one of the wires broke, so I'm on the lookout for a replacement.
These tweets have 3 screws to mount them, and all the replacements I see (on ebay) have 4...argh.
