Can anyone tell me if the speaker is Reference Monitor 7 Speakers?

It has 1 tweeter, 2 midrange and 1 subwoofer. They also have a stand for each.

I need a new subwoofer and also what is the frequency rate.

    Pictures are worth a thousand words.

    But they are most likely Monitor 10's.

    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    I have never heard of the Reference Monitor 7. However, I have heard of the Monitor 7 for a while back, and if it has two mid ranges it's certainly not it. The Monitor 7 of vintage past only has one mid range and doesn't have a subwoofer, but a passive radiator. I don't think they came with stands either.

    It sounds like you have a pair of Monitor 10's which did indeed have 2 mid ranges. Are they located side-by-side, as in a horizontal orientation? Or are they vertically aligned? They also came with stands, so odds are pretty good that's what they are.

    Pics would help.

    The 10's don't have subwoofers, they have passive radiators. Depending what's wrong with it, you might be able to fix it. I'm fairly sure Polk doesn't have any replacements for them.

    It's a "passive" radiator. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_radiator_(speaker)

    Thanks for the info…that was really confusing to understand…maybe it is not the radiator. I will get back to you…Would you know what type of fuse I need by the speaker connections?
