Picked these up at the neighborhood yard sale today.

Any idea what model they are? Seem to be from the monitor line era? They appear to be configured to hang on a wall with two drivers facing one way and one tweeter (and a port) facing the other. Which leads me to believe side channel not rear surround? Any thoughts?

They have a trapezoid shape.

    Sold for rear surrounds back in the day. I believe they are FX iirc. Now they would fit right in for Side surrounds

    Aha! Predated the side surround idea eh?

    Appear to be RT f/x Surrounds now that you've pointed me in the right direction. I'll have to give them a listen.

    Thanks @pitdogg2!
