Help Identifying Polk Audio Monitor Speakers??

Hello,
I have Polk Audio Monitor's but they are not labeled 2, 4, 5, etc. From doing research online, I think they are some variation of the Monitor Series 4, but I am not sure. The back of my monitor's read "Polk Audio Monitor Series 82074". Both the case and cover are black. Can someone give me more information on these speakers and let me know what crossover schematic I should refer to? I currently have them hooked up to a Pioneer SX-737 and they have a very nice detailed sound with not much on the low end, but that is fine for my bedroom setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

without anymore information than given I think a picture is in order.

They look like the speakers shown in the below link. They are two way with a tweeter and smaller driver. The case and cover are black.

You could also try calling Polk to see if they can use the serial numbers you listed to determine what they are."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

Ok, thank you for the help. I will give Polk a call.

If they are the same as what is shown in the ebay link, they are Monitor 4A.
The Monitor 4 had the Peerless tweeter (possibly also the SL-1000 in some). Yours with the acoustic lens was used on the Monitor 4A and Monitor 4.5 (around 1987). The Monitor 4.5 looks like the 4A but has a taller cabinet. The later version called Monitor 4 Series 2 used the SL-1500 tweeter, as did the Monitor 4.6 Series 2.Stan

The 4.5 used the SL1500, the 4.6 used the SL2500If they are the same as what is shown in the ebay link, they are Monitor 4A.
