Paradigm mystery speakers (70p)

I'm looking at a pair of Paradigm towers. They don't have a model number. Does anyone know what model these are?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: 90p, thanks gents!

They are the Monitor 70P speakers

They are from the old Monitor (P) powered series

This review of a bigger version, will give you some idea

They say Made in Canada; that might date them a bit.

The specs are still given at the Paradigm website however.

The fact that they are not marked with a model number or serial number might mean that they were used at an audio show as a demo/prototype unit before they went into production.

It is unheard of for a normal production speaker to leave the factory with no model number or serial number on there.

I have the Monitor v.2 catalog and it again only shows the 90P. Maybe that tower was from the previous year or else it, as someone mentioned, was a prototype that never went into production.

They were distributed and sold - and some reviews here

Currently I have an all Def Tech system with BP2006tl mains (subs are connected for LFE), CLR2300 center, SM450 side surrounds and BPX1.2 for rear surrounds. How do you think the Paradigm 90p would do in place of the Def Tech mains.

Hopefully I can test drive the 70p set in my house.
