    Nope, they are listed correctly. Monitor 12s look like monitor 10s with 2 extra mid drivers and in a taller box.

    Polk Audio Monitor 7B plus Stands.

    Here's a good one for somebody in MD although it is bidding only and start is $195. He redid his crossovers with quality components. "I recently upgraded the crossover circuits in these speakers using Gen I Sonicap capacitors, Vishay Mills resistors, and silver solder. That upgrade added new vitality, depth, and refinement to these speakers, and those components alone cost nearly the price I’m asking here. This translates into a great deal for you!"

    Polk Model 7B Speakers (pair) Classic in Excellent ShapeThese went for $162 shipped. I did not post it here because when I asked seller to verify that midbass drivers were without scraping noises, he said that he discovered they were not, and I did not think it was worth any more than the minimum bid, but fortunately for somebody they got it for that. Gotta appreciate the honesty (to me), but what IF somebody had gotten into a bidding war and it went for $100 more?.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Polk-Model-7B-Speakers-pair-Classic-in-Excellent-Shape-/303426228264?ul_noapp=true&nma=true&si=%2Fz9f7kJJp3oWOLHmUZZO17vQyis%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
