-Two Polk Audio Real Time Array TL 15 Tower Speakers
-One BassCube12S
-Includes Manual and Store Receipt

The RTA 15TL are in amazing condition! All drivers working perfectly. Oddly the photo flash shows one of the front bottom Higher Frequency Passive Radiator as a goldish color around the surrounds but it is really black. Also, very light scuff marks on the lexan top plates. I am very nitpicky about condition ratings but I would give them an Audiogon 9/10.

Subwoofer is in great condition and working perfectly.

I'm also going to sell them on the local Craigslist firm for $300.
Club Polks folks get them basically for the price I paid plus gas for picking them up from Portland $250. :)

ONE 1 Inch (25 mm) POLK SL3000 Dome Tweeter
FOUR 6 1/2 Inch (165 mm) Polk tri-laminate polymer bass-midrange drivers (6503)
TWO 10 Inch (254 mm) fluid coupled subwoofers, one high-resonance, one low-resonance

Weight = 77 lbs

Overall Frequency Response = 20-26,000 Hz
-3 dB limits = 27-25,000 Hz
Recommended Associated Amplification = 30 - 250 watts/channel
Nominal Impedence = Compatible with 8 ohms outputs
Efficiency - 90dB

One BassCube12S

    Echosphere good luck with the sale! I am convinced (and surely hope) that some Polkie will volunteer to provide a good home for them. Too bad this isn't on my side of the border I would snag them right away!

    Cheers!

    Thanks guys they are a great pair of speakers! Sigh.

    Sadly it's a fifty percent WAF/Space issue, fifty percent still like the KEF 104/2 issue.

    Again, probably should not have gotten them but what a sweet deal! I rationalize it by thinking I saved them from a college frat kid using them as beer coasters belching out MP3's.

    Not, that there is anything wrong with coed parties and beer! ;)

    Would love to come for some squeaky cheese! :D

    I wish I had the space for a 5.1 setup.... If so these would NOT be on the market.

    Do you already have a set of the 15TL?

    Cheers,

    Damnit man! I've been looking for some 11tl or 15tl for months now locally and those are exactly what I'm looking for. If you ever plan on driving down to Colorado...

    Good luck, somebody in WA needs to get those.

    Goodness, at that price you should snag them as back-up for your own system (unless you guys are too far apart) :D

    Yup too far apart...

    Don't think I'll post just yet on ePay, maybe AG, but with local pickup only.

    Way too big to ship...

    Posted this evening on local CL, no bites yet.. May cause I forgot to take this out? :(

    It's a small place... I guess I could move them to the bedroom, use it as an alarm, right next to head when I wake as there's about that much space... Or the bathroom, they might fit in the tub.... :D
