Hello,

I am a recent member of the Polk Club having just purchased some r15s for surround speakers last November. I also have some Polk 5jr speakers that I purchased around 1985. I am just curious - what current model of Polk speaker does the 5jr speaker come closest to now given the 17 year span?

    If you're talking about a center for the 5jr's, somewhere on the Polk site there's a feature designed to help you match current & older spkrs for HT. If your model is not on there, an email to cust srvc & maybe a post in the "troubleshooting" forum will help. The 5jr's are great, they are what introduced me to Polk. Went home to visit the folks & Dad had these relatively little spkrs & I wondered how he was going to get enuff outta them to fill up their living room, but when he played Also Sprach Zarathustra (?), I knew he'd made a great choice--not just because of how the famous part sounded, but the rest, too.
