Please Help Identify These Polk's

These are some Polk 2-way floorstanding speakers that I purchased used from a classified. I could tell from the brand and the weight that they were good quality, but I would like to know a bit more about them, in terms of specs, etc.
They are Polk Audio. The 1" tweeter surround is black plastic with Polk Dynamic Balance written in light grey screen. The driver is a 5.5 inch with a rubber surround.
The speaker stands on a small platform on four pillars with bolts running through them. The platform has a plastic cone on it pointed upward toward the downward firing bass port. 7.5" wide, 9.5" deep, 30.5" tall.
I was told by the owner that he bought them new about 10 years ago, and paid about $600 for them. I got them for $40, and would be very happy at twice the price.

Dunno, but I like the looks of the vintage Yamaha equipment to the speaker's left.

Good eye, Mark. What say, a CT-610 tuner and a CA-800 integrated amp? -
Actually, it is a CT-600 tuner, CA-610 II integrated amp, and CA-810 integrated amp, with the panel lamps converted to LEDs and the vinyl covering stripped off the case, and a coat of polyurethane over the wood. I have a CT-610 II waiting for the same treatment in the next room, but I like my CT-600 better.
Details on Audiokarma.org for the LED conversions.
But please help with the Polks, folks. I just can't identify them, but they do sound great with the Yamaha driving them. I was just rocking the Bloomfield Kooper Stills Supersession tonight. -

I think those are too narrow to be S10...and for a 10 inch radiator. -
I remember those. I will say either RT8 or RT10. I can't tell which from the photo but the RT8 has a 6.5" mid-woofer and the RT10 has a 7.5".

Just took some digging. I couldn't find the old Polk product database on the website before.
Thanks to all who pointed me in the right direction. -
I used to have a pair of those, they're RT10's. They had an 8in midbass driver (pic looks to big to be a 6.5?). The RT8 had a 6.5in bass driver.
90db efficiency
10-150watt power handling.In terms of audio, i truly feel sorry for the visually impaired. How can they know what they like if they cant read google?
