What speakers are these and how does the base work

I could be wrong but I think that they are monitor 7a's from the late 70's or early 80's given to the fact they have the respected peerless tweeters first used before Polk started to manufacture their own.As for the bass, they use a passive radiator design that could best be described by googling "passive radiator" Btw- in the vintage monitor line these are well noted for their excellent imaging characteristicsPost edited by befuddle on

I agree with @befuddle.
Just to make sure, you're asking about the bass, right? If so, that was already answered.
If you're truly asking about the base, these speakers are usually put on stands, or perhaps on a shelf, not on the floor. (Mine are on Polk stands purchased with the speakers.) -
Yeah early 7s due to the silver baskets on the drivers. Good speakers, decent bass but nothing amazing low frequency wise. Pair with a nice musical sub and you are good to go!Just a dude doing dude-ly things

FYI to clean the cabinets, most decent wood cleaners work fine. I've used a clean swiffer duster to lightly brushed the tweeter to get most of the dust off. The midwoofer and passive radiator can be cleaned up using Windex with ammonia and a low lint cloth. It will get dirty, so don't use a lint free cloth for TV's, monitors, or glasses. Don't press too hard. A couple of light passes will remove the dirt and dust from the cones, and the oxidation from the rubber surrounds.
If you are interested in bases or stands, there should be information on here if you search for stands. As I recall the M7 stands were the same as the M5 stands. About 18" tall and tipped back slightly. I want to say 5 degrees.
