I don't remember the exact year, but while I was in high school I purchased a set of Polk Audio model 5 speakers. See pics I took today. Does anyone know specs or value?

    I should have mentioned I was in high school from 1977 to 1981 and I bought them new during that time. Thanks for any information you can give.

    Welcome to Club Polk

    They are very similar to the Monitor 5A (Model 5A). I see them go for $65 - $125 depending on condition and what folks are willing to spend. Folks generally like these speakers.

    Sorry, I don't have the specs.
