I was at a garage sale yesterday and stumbled on a pair of Monitor 10's. The cabinets could use some TLC, but they sound fantastic. These are the first Polks I have ever even listened to. I have alway been a Klipsch guy, but I will admit that these can put some Klipsch to shame. The best part about it was they were $20 for the pair. WHAT A STEAL!

I am not sure if they are A's or B's I am away from home right now, so I can't post pics, but the tweeters have the wires going straight out the sides and I think they said "silver", or something like that. Any help will be appreciated.

    Great find on those Monitor 10's an excellent speaker. I have a pair hooked up to a vintage Sansui receiver and it sounds excellent. Stick around; it is very easy to upgrade those big guys if you choose to.

    I am going to use some older Onkyo components - pre-amp and amp (can't remember the model #'s), with a Yamaha linear tracking TT.
