Very interesting vintage Polks. Iirc someone had & was using 2 of them here on forum. Maybe they will chime in
Yes. I know it sounds like it should be a disaster but somehow with my small room acoustics and a couple openings to other rooms it's magic with the gain around 4 and the crossover at 80 Hz . I don't have a calibrated mic or the equipment to test the frequency response but to my ears it is totally dialed in.
The LF14 must have a low pass filter in it for 200 Hz and below. The way Polk says to hook up the system, the Monitor 4 would be certainly sharing quite a bit of signal with the MW in the LF14 in the region of 50 to 200 Hz.George / NJ

This set was listed on OfferUp for $60 last week by someone else in the same general area, this guy is flipping them I think. Good for him I guess.
Either that or he pulled the ad and raised his price. Both ads are consistent in mentioning the LF14 but seemingly ignorant about the fact that the other speakers are Monitor 4’s, I had to do some research to figure out what he was selling and Google led me to some mediocre impressions of the LF14 on this very site so I didn’t bother to pursue. Should have known the sheer novelty would arouse interest here! -

That's certainly a very tempting price. Might get a quote from a Freighter & Crater Company on shipping them.
Opps, didn't see the previous post.

When I bought my 7B's in 1979 the shop tried to sell me on the Polk Cobra Speaker Cables and I too was ignorant and skeptical and, being a college kid, got major sticker shock. I wish I could remember what they cost back then. Probably the capacitive load would've killed my Technics SA 500 Receiver lol, cause I damn sure wouldn't have know about a Zobel Network.George / NJ

I would have already payed him but he doesn't do PayPal. So he insisted that I pay with cash in hand. -

Not only that, it also forces you to upgrade the tweeters.
Speakers work but needs replacement tweeters
