They say RTA8T but they look like TL to me. Look like a great deal for $115

I got a black pair last year here in Co Springs for $40, but there was one bad tweet and I ended up replacing both with the RDOs. I guess that means I spent a lot more than $115, but only 'cause I wanted matching tweeters.

edit--OK, RTAs were considered monitors? I didn't know, sorry.
Cheers,

Yep, all of the RTA series speakers are technically part of the Monitor line. Which is a mighty fine line of speakers I might add.;)
I'm yet to get my ears on any of the RTA's...but I'll probably end up picking up a pair of RTA11TL's sometime down the line. I've heard great things about them before...plus they have a lot of sexy factor. They're some good looking speakers IMO.

Different series, with a good deal of overlap granted, but each touting some distinct models.
Anywho, not an RTA / Monitor discussion thread, just links on that world wide web thing for people to close escrow on the Polks they have been dreaming about.
Link on.

Sorry if that was bad information on my part.
Anywho...Here are some crappy looking 5Jr Series II's at way too high of a price!!
http://madison.craigslist.org/ele/1600680539.html
According to the seller, the 5Jr is a rare find...especially with the passive "woofer"...lol
Here's a nice looking pair of Monitor Series II's for $90. Price is a bit on the high side possibly, but I'm sure they could be talked down to $50-60 with a little work. You don't see these come up as often as some of the other Monitors.

I believe they're 7Cs. Might want to wait for someone else to verify.
Well worth $50, though.

These have been up for sale several times. The first time she wanted something like $800. I let her know that I was interested, but not at anything close to that price.
Later she offered them for about $100, and agreed to sell them to me. On the day I was to pick them up, she told me that a co-worker was going to buy them from her for more money. I was a little peeved, having made arrangements to get them, etc., but told her I understood.
And now, here they are again at a higher price. Buyer beware.

I emailed the seller... disregard the Polk marketing copy about the SL2500 tweeter. Both the 5's and 5jr's have the SL2000 tweeter. (I would have bought them myself otherwise!)
No affil.
