My very first pair of Polks (Late 1990) were a pair of 4.5's with the Tawainese tweeter just like that. A year later (Jan/Feb 1992), when I built my first home theater with 2.3TL's, a CS100, and a Dolby Pro-Logic Yamaha integrated, I bought another pair of 4.5's for my second set of effects channels. This pair of 4.5's were about 2 or 3 inches taller and had a Polk tweeter. They no longer reside in my Polk museum.

Someone needs to buy these, I'm so tempted to just because.... it's an addiction.

I just found the box the second pair came in. They were labelled "4.6". Oddly enough, they were sold to me as a match to the 4.5's. by my local Polk dealer. -
Monitor 7's, look to be in good condition. No affiliation. Seller will include free shipping, but only within city.

I don't know much about the Monitor 7's. From what I understand there are multiple variations of them. Is this a good one? If I was to get them will I have to replace the tweeters as well?
I'm thinking these could be nice surrounds for my SDA 2A.TL

There's no such thing as a bad 7. The picture shows that they aren't 100% stock with 2 different vintage PRs.

From my perspective one just needs a bad cleaning. That rust color happens to many. Windex or 409 take it right off.

Yup, my bad guys, I just looked at the posted pic and didn't go to the link to look closer.
Go get them!! -
You can't pass up Monitor 7's for $45. Take them home and listen to them. They will probably sound awesome. If you don't like them you can double your money parting out the drives and the tweeters.

Or ship them my way...

I saw that one too and its only an hour away. I would have to see them with the grills off so I could look at the drivers and give them a light push to see if one is frozen. -
Great buy on the SDA big boys if someone is in FL.

The west coast must be a smorgasbord for old Polks. I can't even find a pair of 10s around OKC to mod.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

Those look like very nice ones, great price too. They look like the last iteration of the CRS+, those will sound great stock, but even better with the TL modifications. Enjoy them. -
Pretty cool SDA SRS's in Delaware. A tad rough, but nicely priced. Surely they must belong to a member here?
