Locating Mystery Brochure on Polk Monitor Series 2

Hi all,
In the early 1990s I purchased a new pair of Polk Monitor 5 Series 2 speakers. At the time, I recall seeing a brochure that has never surfaced again. It mentioned that the Monitors 4.6 and 5jr+ have European-style cabinets that are deeper than wide. I regret not taking one for my archive. It looked nothing like the brochures found on polksda.com. Does anyone have a copy of this elusive piece of Polk history?

Thanks,
Brian

    Thanks, I received your message. Unfortunately that's not the brochure I'm thinking of. I'm certain it mentioned "European-style" cabinets.

    I'm positive this brochure exists somewhere. I saw it at CSA Audio in Montclair, NJ.

    That's the same one I sent him by PM. Maybe you could try @JayCee. I think he received a treasure chest of Polk literature/brochures. The one we gave you was published in Stereo Review mag. in the 1991 and 1992 Stereo Directory editions.

    Thanks! The one you sent was also found in the October 1990 and October 1991 issues of Audio Magazine. I have those magazines here, although the glue in the spine has completely dried out.

    Sorry, this is the only brochure I have that's not already posted. Appears to be the owner's manual.

    I guess no one has this brochure. I knew I should have taken one.
