Saw these on CL (separate sellers). The RTA 11's are $300. The RTA 12C's had the 2000 tweeters replaced with the Peerless, and are $219.

Thoughts from this group on pricing?

    RTA 12c's for around $200 sound like a good price if they are in nice shape. Paid $200 for mine. Cabinets are so so. Plan to re-veneer them. Had the crossovers rebuilt and they sound great. They like a lot of power.

    The RTA12's are a great deal. They'd probably take $200. $300 for the RTA11's, are they TL? Either way the 12's are the better deal here, and the better speaker.

    RTA-12C's price is good but RTA-11 is overpriced.
