Just spotted these for sale. Never seen a Monitor 14. What's up with these? Looks like a RTA12 without the tweeter?

    They were a sort of subwoofer to compliment the Monitor series.

    The model's LF14.
    They're interesting.
    I had one of the very early ones.

    Thanks, everyone! The wiring diagram is helpful, showing how these can be used as a single or double. Looking back to the original ad, it now seems clear that the seller is selling a "single" and not a pair.

    they're not bad, and -- depending on what you're going to do with it/them -- one is quite capable.

    I have 2 of these (both with frozen drivers). I plan on pairing them with the Monitor 4 with peerless tweeters. What drivers are in the LF14's?

    Remove the drivers and look at the paper label glued to them.
