Polk Monitor 5 Speakers, $159 pr.
Image: http://members.aol.com/KDresch/polk-5.html
Here is a speaker that helped develop Polk's reputation for fine speakers - the
Monitor Series. The Monitor 5 is made up of a 6.5" woofer/mid driver, 8"
passive low frequency radiator and silver wire dome tweeter. The woofer uses a
butyl rubber surround. This series of Polks were one of their most succesful
ever. They helped give Polk the fine reputation they enjoy to this day. When
you hear it you know why - surprisingly low bass, clear mids and a silky high
end. The cabinets measure 10 1/2"w x 23 1/2"h x 9"d.
This pair has walnut vinyl cabinets with a dark brown grills. I would grade
them 8+ out of 10 on cosmetics. Acoustically perfect with working drivers. One
woofer was just replaced by Polk. Polk logos intact. Satisfaction Guaranteed.
It would be hard to match this compact speakers sound quality, at this price,
in a new speaker sold today.
Original list $320 pr. from 1979-84. Only $159 pr. plus shipping
