On an ebay listing, apparently they're the two towers on the left:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Polk-Audio-Surround-Sound-RTi8-CSi5-T90e-JBL-Bass20-/220799610927?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item3368aeb02f

It has the appearance of a Monitor 60 with a black fascia, but it's not a series 2 because the trim looks to be bright silver instead of that gunmetal gray.

Any idea what this T90 is?

    Polk tried to sell some speakers in Europe a couple years back. I dont think it went soo well so they ended up on newegg. I purchased 2 of them myself in January of 2009 for around 123 a pop (I can check the actual price if you want).

    They are basically European versions of the Monitor 60 (hence looking like it). Something to look at if you buy them is that even though I bought 2 of them from the same place, I got one in a flat black and one in a black vener. However my wife and I didnt notice that for almost a year, so if they are not the same finish you might not ever notice lol....

    They sold well in Europe and they're many model numbers that you'll never come across here in the states.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    That model was exclusive to Tweeter in the states before they went tango uniform. (also marketed across the pond)
