A gentleman from AK sold me this set of monitor 10s and a LF14 for what he paid for them. I now have them hooked up to my Nikko NR-1019 in my man cave. I already have a set of RTA-12Bs
being driven by a Hafler DH-200 in the cave. At least on an fm signal through different preamps the 12Bs clearly outperform to Monitor 10s and the lf14s. I just picked up a Adcom GFA-1 that I'm going to run trough the 10s to see if that makes a difference.

    Great price! I've always wanted one of those LF14's! I've heard they are not that great. But I think they look cool!

    The RTA 12B/C'c were the top of the monitor line. When I listened to both the 10's and the RTA 12C's in the showroom, I thought the 12's were clearly better.
