    The LF14 is a subwoofer.
    It's basically the bottom of a Monitor 12; could be used for single or dual channel subwoofage.

    Heard of it? I owned one.
    I think it's now back in Polk Audio's possession...

    You should still buy it for the price as they are rare, and that one looks in good condition!

    I was wondering why it didn't have a tweeter...

    now you know :-)

    I didn't have time to add photos of my erstwhile LF14 yesterday (and they may already be posted here someplace) but FWIW this is das Ding an sich.

    You'll note the deterioration/delamination of the foam on the PR due to age :-P

    The 10s don't need it. I bought mine to augment my 7As in a small room - it "worked" (well, when I was college-aged) but it's not really something the classic Polks "need".

    Here is a bad picture of my LF-14 sandwiched between Monitor 10Bs and RTA 12-bs.
