Anybody know of the monitor 2s? I dont see it on the list of models on the polk site.

I am wondering if at that price, I could get teh RD0 tweeters off teh speakers.

    Concealer, I saw that post- but those turned out to be the Monitor 5s and the photo on the polk site look different too.

    It actually not about the 10 bucks, it also one more speakers pissing off the wife that I am worried about!

    We are moving to a new house in 30 days (contrcat in place, waiting for loan to close) and I know I shoudl wait before I buy anything- if only I could hold on... hold on.

    Moving is going to be a bit** with the POLK SRS2, 11TLs, Monitor 10Bs, VMPS Large Sub, jensen floorstanders, my Energy surrounds.

    Well with that list.... i'm not entirely positive why you'd want these, unless you were specifically looking for something small.

    But just tell her.... "It's ONLY $10!!!!" and then mumble something about how you can sell them for far more down the road and maybe she'll be happy and forget about it.

    :D

    Those are Monitor 4.6 Series II in the photo (not 2's or 5's) and those aren't RD0's they are sl2500's. For $10 bucks it's a no brainer.

    Ooooo.... 4s. Don't know why that didn't click with me. There was a guy selling 3 sets of those locally a few months ago that i just barely missed. :(

    Those look like Monitor 4.6 Series II Studio's to me. They look too tall to be Monitor 4's.

    At 10 bucks, I wouldn't pass it up. Go for it!

    Here they are in the regular(non-studio) version.
