Got these from a fellow polkie and finally have to admit to myself that they are too big for the space i have for them in the garage 
So, if you are able to come and pick them up you can have them. Pretty good shape, drivers and surrounds look and sound fine. Top hats aren't perfect which i guess is not unusual:biggrin: In the Dupont area...can take pics if needed....LMK!

Damn Alan this is awesome. I should get them just because but the wife would kill me if I brought ANOTHER pair of speaks in the house....

I'd only pick them up out of curiosity because I've never heard any RTA's before and because my folks live down in Lacey anyway. But I think I'll let someone else that might actually need them more snag them. GREAT offer! Good karma vibes will surely come your way.

Can't pass this up. Maybe I'll replace my RTA8T's in my office rig with them. PM me when you have time to meet up. This is a no brainer....

If these don't go, my brother-in-law would like to join the club by picking them up with me.

While i like all the accolades everyone has been bestowing on me I felt it was only right to offer them up as Karma as that is how i got them from Bsoko2:exclaim: So, now it can be known that the RTA12b's is the gift that keeps being given

Glad you figured out it was Bill. He's the only Oly Polkie I could think of. Thanks again bro! -

They're not 2000's, they're black. Not sure if they're peerless or RDO's. I'll post pics... -
Peerless. You have an excellent pair of speakers there. Much better than RTA8's.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

So far , so good. Obviously with the PR's the bass is heavy-er. For my smallish room the votes not in yet.
