I thought the same. They look like the woofs on my RSa's.
Talked to the guy and he said that the drivers have KLH stamped on them. But he's got no idea what model they are.
I believe they are KLH 2s. The middle level speaker of a range that used an external processors to allow deep bass and high volumes from small cabinets. Fine speakers, but really need the processor to show their stuff, so make sure you get it if you are thinking of buying.
The whole series got excellent reviews from the mainstream press, but had the mistfortune of being a little too complicated (the processor box) and not blatantly bass capable (where are the 15 inch woofers?) for the average customer, but also were too complicated for the golden ear/subjective press of the time, which was convinced that solid state and processors were bad on the face of it, and products from mainstream companies were suspect.
I think that they may be due for a reevaluation -- I found a destroyed pair at the dump minus the processor. I salvaged what I could (and sent the crossovers to another AKer at some point) and was impressed by the quality of the parts.
