Hello,

I have a pair of Monitor Series speakers I got from my dad when he moved to Florida and can't find any info on them. The only markings on the back are Polk Audio Monitor Series 8T 19822. Anyone familiar with them? They are a wood grain tower speaker with a black fabric front. I plan on listing them on Craigs List but have no idea what to ask for a price. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gail

    You have RTA-8T speakers. They're a pretty nice speaker. Member cfrizz may pop by, she's had and enjoyed a pair for years. Valuation is always tricky; I've seen them go anywhere from $50 to $150, but usually for less than $100. If you have any use for them, I suspect their value in use is greater than what price they will fetch over Craigslist.

    Good luck.
