I don't want to sell these. I was just wondering if anyone can identify them, so I can get more information regarding there specs.
Thank you for any information you might have.

    Polksda.com has some old manuals that have specs for some of the vintage monitors. This might be a 5A? It is not the series 2 for which Polk has the specs listed on this website under older home products.....oh yeah, and welcome. BTW, the speakers seem to sell anywhere from $60 to $115 a pair depending on quality and the buy's "needs."
