Can't do pic's from a different forum but this description nails it......an LS70 in a square box. (Exact from components to elevated rise in cab.) They look RT'ish. I usually can tell a model from across a room but stumped here guys? Appreciate any help!

    Here you go:

    Pretty good Polks in their own time. How much are they asking?

    OK, you mean it's "like" an LS70 but in a "square" box. Then, yeah it might be an RT 16 above.

    Or an RT 12:

    No,,,I know these! It is EXACTLY the same as an LS70 with port and all.....long rectangle cab, driver placement, same tweet, same size woofs, same height, grill material, rosewood, grill to face proportions ....just got home and going to go see if anything has been figured out? (Can you post a link from a different audio forum (?)...think not?

    I think these are the ones in question. I said LS50. Perhaps someone removed that plastic(?) baffle ring thingy. Or these are an early version?

    Yup...dose be dem. The pic must be skewing the "angled sides" out of them.....never heard of an "early version? All I can say is my LS70's were a find that got me back into audio and vintage audio. I love themmmmmm.

    If you look around the front baffle you can see screw holes. Like where someone took that "trim ring" off and put the screws back in perhaps. If you look at the other pic with the grill on. You can really tell thats what happened. And I am not positive, but I think I have seen some LS speakers that did not have the angled cabinets.
