I've been working to buy a pair of RTA-11TL black cabinets which look to be in good shape. I posted a query in dollars and sense in another forum with only 1 comment so far. Is $250 or possibly $200 (if I can buy today) a good deal? What would be the issue(s) with this model? I haven't heard a speaker throw a 3-dimensional soundstage like a pair of Monitor 10's did back in the early 80's in an audio salon, one of the most dramatic differences in sonics between speakers I can remember. The other models had the sound collapse into a box between them. Hopefully respondents will have actually heard this model with honest opinions. Thanks!

    Little too high.
    Under $200 is okay price.
    They sound different than old monitor series.

    Seller has had second thoughts considering cost to replace them. I was honest enough to mention this forum and the upgrades/tweaks that can improve them. Well... guess I'll be on the lookout once more for that bargain.

    Ive seen them as low as 125.00 in decent condition. Ive owned that model & enjoyed them also/without the upgrade
