    Found this NOS driver on eBay but it is not a model I can currently use. MW*6*5*0*1 if anybody has been looking for one of these, jump on this. Used in the SDA 1A, 1, 2, M10, RTA 12. No affiliation. PS: Let me know if you got it and you're a Polk Forum member. Just nice to know I didn't waste my time :)

    Yes, those are indeed Monitor 11's with SL 2000 tweeters. I had a set. gt422a022a1h.jpg
    I probably should have kept them. I will never find another set.

    Monitor 7B for $75 in NJ

    ...on the fence about getting these to use while my crossovers are getting rebuilt

    When you find those there is no fence.... You may wanna keep them instead of fixing your others they will sound sooooo nice.

    I lucked into another pair of near perfect 7B’s this last Sunday for $50. Couldn't pass them up! Still my favorites out of all I’ve owned!

    $80. However, they had damage to the cabinets and the OP stated both midranges were damaged as well.

    How much is the reserve?

    You have to contact the seller to find out.

    Or if the bidding goes high enough, it will show reserve has been met. The bidding can continue on though if a bidding war happens.

    I'm not surprised that he didn't get much interest. He's got ZERO feedback and his first auction is for 30-year-old, very large speakers with local pickup only. Just put a BIN price on there and let it ride.

    Now this is a smokin deal.

    These look great! Tape or light suction can fix those dust caps.
