Which speakers?

OK which ones are these..? Up for auction is a pair of Polk Audio bookshelf speakers in what I believe is a cherry veneer finish. The woofers have brand new foam surrounds so they will be good for a long time to come! The finish - on a scale of 1 - 10, I'd give them a 9 for appearance (no chips, scrapes, or scratches). These were built in the early 1980's so they are vintage and in great shape!
The dimensions are: 14" tall x 6" wide and 4 3/4 inches deep.
Each speaker has a 1 1/2" soft-dome tweeter and 4 1/2" woofer plus a 4 1/2" passive radiator. Both grilles are in good condition - no tears.
I refoamed them on September 13th and have been listening to them since then - they sound great! There is no information as to the oHms or wattage capability. Hopefully, the winning bidder will have this information.

kinda look like 5's,, but the sub-bass (lower driver) is confusing my old eyes. Someone else will chime in I'm sure,with a more definitive ID.JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

I know these are old, but Polk never used foam, right? -
I think they are original Mini monitors. Russman had a pair and I think donated to Polk HQ.

Sorry to any Polkies who tried to win these, I just had to have them.
I talked to the seller and he is taking out the drivers and boxing them seperately
