    The image displayed is a pair of RTA-8's.

    I wouldn't call them mint with that pushed in tweeter dome. The right grill looks odd in the picture, near the top. Wax spilled? I would ask for a picture of the area. Perhaps near mint would be more in line, depending on how the other things turn out.

    The price is high also. I guess I should have a positive note also, its a cool speaker :)

    so is the RTA line is part of the monitor series? Or are they just the same speakers, monitor 8 = rta 8, monitor 11 = rta 11?

    There has been a spilled drink - or something on top of that speaker. Candle Wax like Dor said maybe.....but there has definetely been some Cabinet/Grille damage.....
