I'm new to Polk, I've been a Klipsch guy for awhile. I have a couple pairs that seem a little odd. One says model 7a and has the peerless tweeters and two fuses on the back and the other says moniter 12. Were there different mon 12's as i've never seen them with that tweeter on top? Thanks.
P.S. I can't seem to stop listening to the 7a's. Is there help for that?

    The R2D2 looking speaker is commonly known as the RTA-12....but early models were referred to as Monitor 12 also. Same speaker.

    The other is an original Monitor 7. Excellent speaker and both are keepers for awhile.

    A lot of people like the 7's; it's a good mix between size and sound.

    I always like the R2D2 description of the 12s.
