I thought these are Monitor 4's. But the seller says they have 5jr tags on the back of the cabinets.

    Those are the very first Monitor 5Jr's. The first ones didn't have the 8" passive radiator like the later ones did. They were ported instead. Those ones have SL-1000 tweeters.

    They appear to be in pretty good shape...but I'd offer $50 or so personally.

    Yep...my guess would be that they have MW6502's, but don't quote me on that.

    Once they added the passive radiator to the 5Jr's, the version with just a mid-woofer was redubbed as simply "Monitor", with no number or letter designation. You don't see them too frequently...I believe they may have just been brought back for the Monitor Series II models.
