I picked up a pair of RTA 8TL's the other day in real nice condition. They are a very decent speaker. I set them up in my living room just for S&G and powered them with the RS deal of the century amp and they sound pretty good. Very affordable audio.
I have never heard a pair of Monitor 7's, but how do these speakers compare?

I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

They are a very good speaker. I wouldn't still be using mine for over 18yrs if they were bad!

Thanks Cathy. They actually match our floor pretty well. I am sorry to report that I only have @ 25 wpc going to them at best. They do sound good for what I have powering them.

They respond very well to tubes and while they aren't MON7's, they sound very nice. I made fun of them for a good while until I was able to spend some serious time with a pair. There's nothing RTA about them but its a fun loudspeaker.
It looks like you have some feet on them but they usually need some backtilt of around 1-2"....to get those tweeters more inline with a human head.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player.

Mark,
What tube amp did you power them with? I do still want to hear a pair of M7's.

Yes, sounds familiar. They are now on the West Coast. I am looking for a integrated tube amp. Why I don't know. I guess because I don't have one.I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
