Welcome to Club Polk

I have been trying to do a modest set up in my basement, which is unfinished, and serves as the smoking area of the house. So far, my system is a Pioneer RT-1020L reel tape deck, and the two Polk speakers I just got Saturday (09/13/25). I have the power source coming in the mail 09/15/25, a JVC JA-S44 integrated amp w/equalizer (45wpc). The Polks are pretty nice, with edge/corner damage in the back of speakers only, with the fronts of both like new. The grills are also fantastic.
Now, as to what model 7 series I have, other than the serial number sticker on the back saying just '7', I learned that pulling the tweeter and looking for the tweeter model #, and I find it's says SL2000, 1985.
Other than pulling out one tweeter for series model ID, I have not done anything else. The surrounds are nice (rubber materiel).
Inspections and tests on the to do list, check ohms on the tweeter and driver. Then inspect the crossover. Other than the seller demo-ing on a Sony (black) receiver to hear them (which as they are now, they sound good to this ole man with bad hearing), I will see about changing any caps or diodes? Oh, I got some nice speaker stands along with the sale. I really like the wood trim on the bottom of them. I really like the front cabs how they curve out, (ie. like advent bullnose??) sort of.
On the one tweeter I pulled, I see what looks like (stamp) M7 ??? (for Monitor 7)??
Well, in closing, I got these Polks picked out from a short list from FB marketplace I was shopping. (BA HD10, Advent 5002, BA 40, Polk Monitor 5). I am real glad I got the Monitor Seven.

Hello @gkwolfman. Please allow me to offer you a very warm welcome to Club Polk!

Love the R2R as a source. Congrat's on what you have been able to assemble so far.
