Any thoughts on a set of original RTA 12C's for $250.00? They are supposed to work fine and everything is original.
Sounds like the cabinets are about an 8 out of 10. Scoop them up and make the wifr think I am over the edge or????

    Maybe my wife won't notice them. Hmmm. What tweeter was used in that model? SL200?
