    @Tony M , and @TNTsTunes you have sharp eyes! I didn't notice the tear in the butyl rubber surround until you said that. Not too worried about the dust caps on the voice coils, as I have pulled out countless ones of those. Going to need a new MW6510.
    @pitdogg2 I agree with you, not a $1100 speaker. $600-700 all day long though if they pass the VC test.
    About 90 minutes from me (on a good day!).

    Update on the 2.3TLs in the LA area. Seller sent me these photos, which appear to show that they are Walnut, but the seller says "I believe the caps are Oak".

    I have also inquired about the torn butyl rubber surrounds.

    Well after I queried the seller regarding the torn surrounds in the photo in his ebay listing for his 2.3TLs he came to the realization that he uploaded the "wrong" photo (the initial photo was of a 2.3TL that he was looking into buying several years ago on ebay). Seems very strange, but I guess it can happen. He has updated his listing to show the new photos. I had added the front baffle photos here-

    I always wanted to get a pair of RTA-11Ts when they came out, but never did. This pair seems very nice. What is the going price for these in good condition? Seller is asking $200.

    "250GT Lusso" -- great moniker.

    The single most beautiful automobile ever made, as far as I am concerned.

    sorry for the temporary hijack. :p

    Good price.

    In the past 6 months I have purchased two sets of 11t's. One in great condition for 20 bucks. The other was 40 or 50 bucks I believe.

    Again I shall reiterate: You, sir, are much like a Hoover... ;)
