I picked a pair of these up last weekend for $10. Unfortunately the woofer is frozen in both speakers, but the Peerless tweeters work. I've looked at pics of the 5, 5jr, and 7, but I'm not sure which it is. The woofer is the garden variety MW6500 and the passive radiator is an 8".

When or if you decide to fix that speaker(s), you will be impresse with it performance.
But then if your a Polk fan you already know that.
