Found these on CL a short while ago for $50. I already sent the owner an email based solely on parts I recognized as (possibly) MW 6xxx and Peerless tweeters.

Are these part of an early Rti series or am I way off?
Sounds good to me...

    My guess is some sort of frankenspeaker...
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2800 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    Picked these up today.

    Those pics were terrible. (or I was just seeing what I wanted to)

    1" domes (not peerless) "made in france"

    6.5" Mid woofers (not polk)

    10" Woofer

    10" Passive


    Anyway they are Harms Labs III's

    Also came with a separate cab called a "Large Subwoofer"

    Not much out there on the net about these aside from the fact that they are made in Co. and maybe in 1984.

    I have a call into the company which is still around (now Harms Sound Labs) and if they call back I will start a new thread with all pertinent info and a review.

    Any of you mountain folk know these guys?
    Sounds good to me...

    been listening today and they're not bad but I wouldn't go out of my way.

    The cabs are VERY solid and the veneer is nice but.....

    I'll say more later... must fix and listen
    Sounds good to me...
