Thanks. As my rotten luck would have it I ran across a peachy set of Monitor 7's with SL2000 drivers. I think I read here Polk is out of stock on the RD0194-1's for a while. Talk about Murphy giving a guy the finger?

Very decent prices on both IMHO.... The 15's though are NOT my favorite RTA, thats the RTA 11TL lol.... I dont think I'd do a straight trade for the 15's, but for someone with the right room (big and enough room to pull them forward a bit) the 15's may be what your looking for...

Those 12's look like garbage, if I'm honest.
They were abused with a clipped signal at some point in their life, the original 12's without the little bottom stands on them and vertical tweeters came with Peerless and these have been replaced with SL2000's. Also looks like one of the midwoofers has been incorrectly replaced with one of the real old Monitor line midwoofers.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Yes, not 'very good condition' as stated in the ad.
No risers, replaced tweeter, one woofer plus not tweeter dispersion hat...
Very good condition looks like my old pair:

Afaik, not all rta12 came with risers. My original pair didn't have any and there were no signs they ever did.
Yeah the original RTA-12's with vertical Peerless didn't have risers, they had mini metal stands. They also weren't mirror imaged.
I was just getting at these aren't worth $200 and the seller is misrepresenting their condition as very good when they have incorrectly replaced parts on them and don't really look the best.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Crs+'s with stands n IC cord. So So of a deal to someone looking for em. Not mine. http://m.ebay.com/itm/301531324595?_mwBanner=1..
-
Looks like the early (1986) version CRS+'s with the blade/blade IC. IMHO not too bad a price with the stands and IC. I've been searching for quite awhile for stands for my CRS+'s.Speakers: Polk SDA-SRS xovers rebuilt by David, RDO194's, Dynamat, BH5, glued magnets, new cloth, custom aluminum terminal plates with Cardas posts and Speakon interconnect

I can't tell if they're RT12s or RT16s.
Seems an acceptable price for those near them in the mid-atlantic area -

Id pick up either the 10s or sda 2As for my garage for $100.00. I never see deals like that around here.

$400 for Monitor 7's? Yikes. Cabinets must be full of expensive Mundorf or Sonicaps.
