Can you identify these Polks?

Long time lurker here, but if I remember correctly, this is my first post. I love this forum and use it as a reference very regularly, so thank you all for the great information over the years!

I am always browsing my local craigslist for speaker bargains, but today I ran across a pair of Polks that I couldn't identify. I was hoping I could submit a pic to you guys and see if anyone can identify them. Here goes:

What do you guys think? Any info or insight is appreciated! :thmbsp:

Hi Joe!

Reminds me of the RT12's, but those have a port. Maybe the RT series is a place to look.

I immediately thought LS70's but has the differences already stated. The cab shape screams RT series,mid 90's manufacture and later.........I'll look around too.

You guys just don't want to believe me. :D I have RT floorstanders and I'm familiar with various models in the series RT10, 12, 16, and 20 all had downfiring ports. These are not part of the RT line. I should point out I'm refering to the RTs from the mid to late 90s. Maybe there was another RT line of a different vintage?

Ya know, not that I'm staring at dem things, I think they may be a version of LS-50's. I don't remember there being diffferent versions tho. I definitely recall the 50's, 70's and 90's and they all had a taper. I ended up buying the 50's; I still have the brochure of the LS series and they show a taper.

So :scratch2: :scratch2: :scratch2:
 
Oh I beleive you completely!

Should have stated that I did know they were not RT's because the only thing RT is the box shape. If it is the camera taking the angled sides away....for sure LS Series. I own a pair of LS70's and every time I compare more modern Polk offerings for my theater....only the big RTi's (haven't compared these) would make me jump ship. (The RTi A9's would possibly make me box up my Dalquist DQ-20's and ADS 810's....Polk did a special thing with these things.) I will figure this out as this is a huge blow to not know a Polk....Hell. I thought I knew every Polk........
