Single Polk Monitor 5a in a pretty decent condition - $25 (Walnut Creek)
I was thinking to get it, but there is nothing in my mind to convince in driving for about 40mls.

That’s a Peerless 5. Good deal for $25, some guys like them for center channel if they have Peerless monitor fronts.

It’s raining monitor 7’s here in Utah. I already have two spare pairs, so yeah... somebody else can chase them... 😂

That is a very early monitor 10 (but too pricey unless you are starting a Polk museum).
But did Polk really make 55,959 speakers before it? Anyone have an idea of the vintage?

Probably the weight on the passive. They are not glued on too well. I had one come loose. I set the speaker down a little too hard moving it one time and heard it fall.
