Monitor 2
I have two Big Polk Audio Bookshelf speakers (22" x 10") I purchased at least 30 years go. The only reference I can find to the model of speaker is a small note on the back listing: Monitor 2. Is there more to the model? The speakers are really beautiful, real wood casing with the black front. Are these valuable?

Pictures would help.
I believe you're seeing the monitor series 2 badge. Which is the monitors series second generation. -
That has to be a Monitor 5 Series 2.

It does seem like they forgot to fill in the stick info. At least on the speaker.

I think that was the standard. They are the Monitor Series 2 from the early 90's. The actual model number is the M5 just before the serial number.Stan
