man...those 12b's - hot!

These have been for sale in San Diego for several months. They look great but probably priced too high, otherwise they would've sold by now. No affiliation.

I would love to have a pair of those 12's. Just because I am becoming a hoarder of all things Polk.2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.
Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

RT-400. Oh, these bring back a lot of memory. My first polk speaker

The RTA-12B and C's are the best non SDA vintage Polk speakers I have heard, in some aspects they even beat out SDA's (center imaging for instance). I paid $225 for mine, ended up giving them to a friend for free. I tried selling them for something around $200 with two extra Peerless tweeters and an extra MW6600X and I still couldn't get rid of them. I don't know why.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Sorry, I didn't see that. In that case , if someone wanted the "ultimate" Polk speakers, it would probably be worth it.

Is that a new high asking price for a set of 1.2tl's?
$3665.00 ?
I remember good sets going for 2K just a year or two ago. -
Now I can see the value. If they had the Monastery Crossovers in them. I would be on the road right now.

No affiliation ... any advice on what to offer after a listen? Do these belong to anyone here?
1986 ... not the biamp 1987.
They do not appear to be selling on eBay at $700 - $1200.
Thanks,
Avrim

I believe those are his father's speakers. I know he had a pair years ago that he tried to sell for a premium price.Political Correctness'.........defined

The SRS 2s for $699 are mine. Completely updated and sounding superb and very little interest. One inquiry. I'd offer maybe $800 ?

Agree. They were $1,400 (incl tax) new back in 1987 when I bought mine.

I'd say at least $1500 high. Also, you'd have to spend another $400 for tweeters. -

Cost of living out there is much more......rolling eyes
I found a set of RTA11's and the guy said he had to have 600.00 for the pair. He was none too happy when I laughed in his face. For some reason a lot of folks think these are like fine wine and they appreciate with age. I offered him what I thought was fair 150.00 but he had just bought a set of Dynaudio speakers and he thought I was going to help him pay those Dyn's off his CC.
