model 10 series

[skyhawks]

I have some vintage model 10 speakers bought in 1981. They are in excellent condition. They are stored in the original boxes. I used them during the years of 1981 thru 1985 then stored them back into the boxes. I got them out today and they sound wonderful. What are they worth? 2 speakers.
Thanks for your help!

You mean Monitor 10? Posting pics are probably best. Or providing driver model numbers. There are different variations of the Monitor 10.

I paid $24 for mine. For good condition with boxes I would expect anywhere from $80 - $200 (depending on condition, any mods and exact model)

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the information. This is a great site for help and information.

If they are Monitor 10s and you are selling them, I am looking for a pair.

I have seen several mentions of "Model x" vs "Monitor x". Were the Polk Audio speakers originally called "Model"?

Um, no. At least, not as far as I know. I have the original box for the Monitor 10B and that's what it's called on the box. Monitor 10B.

I think the very very early stuff (mid to late70s) was called Model9, Model 7 and Model 10. Maybe I am wrong.

Some of them were. I've got some Monitor 7A's with original boxes. The boxes say "Monitor Series:Model 7". There also isn't any reference to the "A" designation on the box.

I always just refer to them as Monitor 7's though. I think with the later ones, Polk may have dropped the "Model" and just referred to them as "Monitor X".

[Ender]

Ah. Good to know for the future. I guess once they hit the B series, they dropped the "Model" because my box says simply "Monitor 10" and has a "B" stamped next to it.
