Ok, making a decision... Monitor 10's or Monitor 11t's?

I have a pair of both of these speakers.. some 1985 Monitor 10's with original SL1000 aluminum tweeters, and some 1989 Monitor 11t's with two blown SL2000s (a local eBay find I couldn't pass up). The passives and low/midrange woofers in both pairs are in great shape.
Should I... replace the Monitor 11t's tweeters with RD0194s and keep them, or...
keep the Monitor 10's?

Wow, thanks, didn't think it'd be so obvious. Keep in mind these are not RTA11s.. they're the older thin tower design. Pretty contemporary looking for their age. Beveled front edges and pedestal base.

Are we sure those drivers are blown ? -
Yes.. I switched them out with the Monitor 10 SL1000 tweeter for testing.

I like they 10's but I hear the 11 T's are special, so go with the 11's

Ok, gonna keep the 11ts and order some RD0s tomorrow. Thanks for the input! BTW, I saw an eBay listing for some RTA 11ts. As far as I can tell, they look exactly like my Monitor 11s... same cabinet design, speaker allotment, etc..
Can anyone tell me the difference between the two? I assume there's something? -
The moniker was the Monitor RTA 11t, so no difference.Political Correctness'.........defined
