    I have the 7B, since I just checked the serial number on the speakers. :)

    Actually, I'm thinking of setting up a surround-sound setup with the RTA-11t's as the left front and right front speakers and the Monitor 7B's as the rear speakers. Any suggestions for a Polk center speaker and subwoofer in this setup? :D

    Subwoofer? Generic. The only subwoofer I would personally pick up from Polk would be a PSW505(New) or a PSW1200(Old). The rest are non-threatening. HSU and SVS are some real popular brands here and elsewhere for subwoofer duty.

    Center channel? Ugh, tough call. A single SDA CRS(+) would be perfect, a pair even better. They aren't common however, and a center channel suggestion for the RTA series, I'll leave for another Polkie.

    You have a later version, not as extraordinary, but still a great speaker nonetheless. Don't sell them, pass them on.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    what distinguishes a Monitor 7 from a 7B, 7C ?

    is the difference only slight? I love my 7B's to death. my grills don't look like anyone elses that i've seen. But i'm sure they are pretty common for a 7B.

    Check the parts list by model-> http://clubpolk.polkaudio.com/service/models/modelpartslist.php3?model=monitor

    You can see some differences in what drivers were use depending on the different revisions. This was pretty much the case with all of Polks "A,b,c,series 2" numbering.

    And, from what I see, the farther in the alphabet you go, the newer the speaker is, with Series 2 being the newest. I was very surprised to find that my Monitor 10 Series 2 speakers were made in 1991! I thought that they would've been older than that, but I must've gotten some of the last of the last of the 10's.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    I bought my Series 2 Monitor 4's in '92, they have a '92 date IIRC (been awhile since I had 'em apart). I seem to recall them being around at least one more year after that....

    One of these days I'll get to ordering new grills for them, I always listened and mixed on them with the grills off, and got lazy leaving the grills off, leading the grills to become dog toys... :eek:
