I purchased these with the idea of duplicating the @westmassguy center channel. As the CS 400i is doing its job nicely these have been collecting dust for the past two years.
Monitor 5jr + series II with SL 2500 tweeters. The drivers have dynamat with the MW magnets glued to prevent failure.
Small dink on one rear corner I glued and clamped. The grills are in excellent condition with both badges and no snags or pulls anywhere. The cabinets are nice but do show some marks here and there. I include an image showing some light scratches on the vinyl wrap. The images are worse than the actual speaker and represent the worst spot on the pair.
The crossovers are stock but make for a simple and cost effective upgrade. There is a single 13.5 uf cap with with a single one ohm resistor.
Consecutive numbers as they should be considering these shipped in the same box.

They look nice and at a good price.Political Correctness'.........defined

Where are you located, Mr Boats?
The 5jr has always been a favorite of mine. -
Hi Russ. I am in East Texas not far from Lufkin or Livingston. Depending on the persons travel schedule a Polkie from Houston will be passing within a 45 minute drive on their way to LSAF. Drop off in Livingston would not be a problem. If you want these I will work with you on the cheapest and easiest method of getting them to you.
Thanks for the comments Jesse. They are in good shape and I think I have described them accurately. They do not do as well on the push test as they should so think the cabinets themselves could use a bit of joint sealing. The cabinet construction of the Series II was not up to the standard of the original.
100% happiness guarantee. If a buyer does not like their purchase I will take them back. These are orphans and have been closet dwellers long enough it is time for a new home. If I had any use for these they would be staying.

I picked up some sealant for the cabinets so will be filling all of the seams to seal these better. At the same time I will replace the moretite with a standard gasket material.
Sweet sounding little speakers in search of a new home. -

It will be later today but I will be happy to get you a quote. Once the cabinets are sealed I can pack them and get a weight

UPS is showing almost $70.00 to ship to you and that is the ground shipping rate.
Everything totaled you would be looking at $200.00 give or take a hair delivered to you. -
If I take the package to them it looks like the shipping will be closer to $55.00 for ground shipping. The nearest shipper is going to be about an hour and a half round trip but if you want these I will make it happen.
