I believe these are Polk Audio Monitor Series RTA-8T Towers.

However it is difficult to gauge the size in the photo here is the RTA-11T

A look under the speaker grills will tell the story.Radio Station W7ITC -

Might the seller have misread "11T" as III? They are RTAs of some variety.Jay

look at the serial number if it is a RTA-8T the serial number is 8T-XXXXXX, is an RTA-11T then it is 11T-XXXXXXRadio Station W7ITC

I'd guess that is a pic from a seller and all the OP has. Not that that changes anything.________________

They look like they have been stored in a humidor. look at the way the tops of the cabinets appear to be warping at the back.

I see what you mean, the top of the left hand tower has been wet. if you look close the particle board has swollen. Once this sort of particle board does this you will have to carefully remove and replace the top board to repair it The veneer looks to be vinyl which you can purchase online and I have seen some of it that you can actually install using an iron. Unless you can get a fantastic deal on these speakers I would be temped to walk away.Radio Station W7ITC -
Hi,
I don't have the speakers - they are for sale on Craigslist. I was just curious as to the models so I could look up reviews or threads. I already have an excessive number of vintage Polk speakers, so I'm not in a giant hurry to get more unless these were something very special.
Thanks everyone! -
offer 50.00 and that would be worth loading em up. if all other parts are in working order. but it can be a project im sure..

i think agfrost hit it on the money. misread model numbers. we had some posted on CL maine for 175.00 and they were still there 3+ weeks later. not sure why. maybe condition???..
