I have a pair of Monitor 10, a pair of Monitor 5, a pair of 5jr with the passive radiator, and a few 5jr without the passive radiator. Out of the non radiator 5jr’s only one is a useable speaker, the other 2 are parts speakers. What I wanted to know is if there is a matching center channel for those era of Polk speakers? Right now I’m using the functional 5jr w/o passive radiator as a center and have been doing for some time. This is my first time posting on this forum so I’m not completely sure how to use it. Advice would’ve be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to CP. Many use a CS350LS or CS400/400i as a center with vintage monitors.
