    That's an Original Large Advent (OLA) -- real walnut enclosure, as opposed to the Utility Large Advent.

    Worst part about those Monitor 10's is they probably had Peerless tweeters in them. Those Peerless tweeters are probably now in some landfill in Florida.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    The silk domes were probably past their prime as they do eventually deteriorate being a protein.
    But that choice of replacement is ghetto.
