    They look like standard Monitor's, with no letter/number connotation.

    POS "tweeters", one blown woofer, and a sticker on the side that's going to be a huge PITA to get off. Not to mention that there aren't any grilles included.

    I wouldn't pay a dollar for them myself, but I also have no use for them really. If you're looking for a real cheap project to play around with, it might be worth $1. The $17.85 for shipping is what kills it though. I'd pass.
