Have a soft spot for Polks so these came in last Saturday.
Grills have some snags and some veneer peeling in few places.

Going head-to-head with JBL L-20T right now.

    They are on top of Klipsch Forte's and tweeters will be too high normally so I inverted them.
    Sound the same tweeter up or down.
    I have them paired with Monitor Audio ASW 100 sub and they match very nicely.

    Nice 5's...a wee bit different than mine, my badges are attached to the grilles and by the way, if your gonna use em upside down...at least flip the badges over eh ! lol

    I think the ones with badge on grills are later versions.

    I loved my 5's. Had them in the garage so my mother in law could listen to Otis Redding and James Brown while she smoked.
