I can't find any clear information on the 11 T's, I'm looking at a pair in very nice condition for $100. Please let me know what I'm dealing with. They're 11T not RTA11, I've looked at a lot of info and still can't figure out what to do. They go from top to bottom driver-tweeter (silver)-driver-looks like passive-passive. Thanks

    I know it sounds like an RTA11T, it's a Monator 11T. This pair of towers is black and looks like the RTA but isn't.

    I think this is another classic case of Polk's early labeling anomolies. Many people have a pair of SRS2 speakers (labeled) when in fact they are early 2.3s.

    I believe the Monitor 11t and RTA 11t are one in the same. Regardless, for $100 its a pretty good deal!

    The RTA series is part of the Monitor series. Like stubby said, just a case of Polk mislabeling their speakers.

    If they are in a straight line they are RTA 11T. Even if they are labeled another way they are identical inside. How do I know? I have owned both versions.

    The very first version of the RTA-11T was called the Monitor 11 to play off the success of the original Monitor series.

    Here is a pic of the RTA-11T.

    Then those are the RTA11t's. For 100 bucks they are well worth it if they are in good condition. I sold both pairs that i had for 300 bucks.
