Would like to pick up a set of Monitor 5s if anyone has a set they would part with reasonably.
Thanks!

    You can see they are in really nice condition but have a couple holes in the grill fabric.

    5Bs, they'll do well with a tweeter update and new caps. Nice score.

    Very sweet 5B's and I'm glad you found them. I really don't like shipping vintage Polks due to magnet shift issues.

    For what it is worth, I'm in Maryland 21043.

    I have a pair of Monitor 5Jr+ Series 2. The chip shown in the photo is on the back edge and is the only flaw in the pair. They have the SL2500 tweeter as shown in the link below. Where are you located?
