    I think those are Monitor 11, not RTA11. They are like Monitor 10, but bigger passive radiator and larger cabinet. Pretty rare.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    Did you read about the IC cable thing? Sounds like it may be some sort of homebrew SDA?

    ?
    Read through it a few times. Don't see any mention about an IC. The speaker terminal shot doesn't have any kinda IC connector. I stand by my claim that they are Monitor 11.

    Ok, maybe the correct term for these is Model 11.
    Found this at our friend's website:
    http://www.polksda.com/pdfs/Model11Manual.pdf

    Looks like they took the RTA12 and put the tweeter and crossover inside the box instead of sitting on the top.

    I'd say they are definetly quite rare.

    Per his description
    "Each RTA 11 utilizes two MW-6600, 6½" bass midrange units, one 12" low resonance sub-bass radiator, and a 1" wide-dispersion soft dome high-frequency unit. The two 6½" bass midrange drivers are driven separately from two phase compensated crossover networks. One 6½" mid-bass driver, alone, reproduces most of the midrange. The two drivers act together in reproducing the mid-bass and in driving the sub-bass radiator.

    Mirror imaging is achieved by offering left-right matched speaker pairs with the midrange driver toward the inside. The speakers are marked on the back, Left or Right channel as viewed by the listener. The original Instruction Manual is included."

    I'll ask him some ?'s
