They never produced one, but at some point on this forum appeared an instruction for x’overs upgrade. I like the result very much.

‘86 SRS 2 blade-blade converted to SRS 2TL. These have never been produced by Polk Audio, but with the help of Matthew Polk some guys came up with proper changes for x’overs. -
Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

Speaking of TL those are TL's. Always liked that little blade above the tweeters. Reminds me of back in the day we used to put louvers on everything. Including the back window of your Trans Am.
-
Good price for them. I'd love a second set but too far.
-
I'd like a set of the RTA's some day. I think They had a 15?HT/2Channel: Emotiva MMC-1, Adcom GFA-555II, Polk SDA 3.1's, Teac TN-300 TT, Polk Center and Sub.
Bedroom system: Carver CT-24, Parasound HCA-800II, Monitor 10's
Additional projects: RTA 12c's -
I'd snag them if they were closer. Fully modded, the vintage MTM's are keepers.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

That'd be a tidbit of info to hear from the original engineer, why they only added the reflector to the top mid/tweet.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists. -
Seems like my RTA12's or some other Polk speaker has that flap thing.HT/2Channel: Emotiva MMC-1, Adcom GFA-555II, Polk SDA 3.1's, Teac TN-300 TT, Polk Center and Sub.

Best I can do it the marketing spin from back in the day.

Looking at the side-by-side pic of the 8TL vs 11TL, the tweeter is @ 6" higher. I'll come across a set locally...eventually.
And undoubtedly, the 11's cabinet would get better bracing to boot.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists. -
Even higher on the 15's.
-
Even higher on the 15's.
Judging by PR dimensions, I'd wager the 11's tweeter to be placed higher.....
Edit. Steve P gets the prize...

Looking at pictures might not be very accurate. In this one the 15's tweeter might be slightly below the 11TL position.
-

Interestingly by the way, RTA 12s have two blades: one below the tweeter on the main bracket and the second in the hat. -
Looking at pictures might not be very accurate. In this one the 15's tweeter might be slightly below the 11TL position.
That's what I deducted. If you transpose the 11TL Image over the 15TL, the 11's tweeter is above the 15's...???Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists. -
@xschop is going to make me some for an SDA tweet mod.
-
These guys have been trying to sell these RTA 8T for $260 for over a year and logically, they increased to price to $350 since nobody has bought it. This is how you fish for an idiot by the book.

WOW!!!! Better Run!!!
EDIT: Looking at these again, are those some sort of tweeter cones glued to the SL2000?

$700
Better run away I guess
tweeters look SL2000 with a turtle neck made of something.
For pristine conviction SRS 2 fair market price is $500 max. I bought mine for $375 a year ago. So the bundle with a receiver, “mixer” and sub looks more like a garage clean out.
-
Not SDA or Monitor, but a great deal nonetheless.
Wish I felt the need in having a spare just in case, I think $250 is a steal, and my son lives in Berthoud.
I do have a pair of new 703’s put away. 🤪

For $75 it would be fun to play around with.. -
The passive has miraculously not bubbled. Most of the foam fronted passives did so, some very badly.
