Hi all,

Could someone help me identify what model speakers these are? They're Polk Audio bookshelf passive speakers that were just passed on to me, and I'd like to figure out what amplifier to pair them with.

Thanks!

    S4 I believe

    Ok strike that, S4 has a port. This IS S series though, or at least of that era. I'll keep polking around and get a better answer if someone here doesn't beat me to it.

    Nope, not S4. That is the "Monitor" from 1992.

    Not S series then? 'Cuz that looks like a S4 or LS driver... Can't argue with the brochure though.

    I believe it is the same driver or similar as used in the S series.

    Here is the S and LS series.nkv0stu1tpii.jpg

    Very close except the woofer and tweeters are a little different. I know the guy who designed the Monitor and Mini-Monitor and I can't believe CSW would have copied. Must be coincidence.
