My friend and I are curious as to which models these are. They were bought from a neighbour who moved away. Anybody know?

Paradigm 9 or 11se Mk II's I think??? or Monitors from the early to mid 90's
Sorry,they're not se series. I'm trying to look them up in an old Sound & Vision Mag from the 90's
They have to be Monitors Series
It would be alot easier to guess what they are not!
the se series and the monitor series might have been the same speaker back in the day?
They're not first gen Monitor 9s or 11s, I can tell you that.
Very similar to the M60s in the layout.
Yes they are. I noticed them right away as I was going to purchase its bigger brother, the 90p, back in the day when upgrading from my Monitor 9v1's.
Thanks for the input everyone. Much appreciated.
I think they might be Monitor 7's. Either way, those woofers are poly or something, they don't look like metal. Tweeter looks silk or some other fabric.
I'm going to guess they're WV (White Van) series.
Ooh! How do I get some WV series ?!?!
If there's one thing that I can guarantee, it's that they're not WV products. Why? It's simple: they work.
Seriously though, the build and finish are very similar to the Titans and Atoms that I bought in the mid '90s. Having said that the grills aren't removable on those, so I can't speak to the drivers.
The last time I spoke to a White Van driver, it didn't go so well. For him.
Pretty sure that the right answer is up in this thread, the 70s or 90s.
Yup, I'm pretty confident that they're 70s, but couldn't resist the allure of the white van. I hear that there's some good audiopile gear in there.
Here's a link to the
70P's , just a different version. I have the old Monitor series catalog on my other computer, but it's in a box.
I would think if these were Paradigm speakers, there would be a logo and model ID somewhere on the units, unless some sticker that was on the speaker had been removed.
Otherwise i would guess white van models myself.
It does appear there is a logo on the front, but logos can be faked. I bought an "Air Canada" luggage bag once in a small town in Mexico. By the time i got it home, the screws were falling out.
I guess it could have been an Air Canada quality bag by that definition...
Looks like the sticker's been removed. They do have double logos.
