I have a pair of Polk Monitors. The pate on the rear has the numbers L12 22424. The speakers are timbre with black cloth fronts Single bass driver, two identical mid ranges side by side, and the tweeter in a sperate enclosure on the toop (PCB number is RTA12 ISOPHASE CROSSOVER.

I bought them second hand in the early 1990's in Melbourne, Australia. Would be nice to find out some more about them.

regards

Chris

    Based on the serial number I would guess RTA 12Cs with SL2000s or SL1000s late 1985
