    Still junk Dave, all the wrong drivers and not sealed. We saw this pop up 2 weeks ago for twice the price. They're worth 100 at most and that's just for the PRs.

    Whoa. Thanks for the clarification. I did notice the drivers looked odd! :smile:

    So these were delivered a few days ago. Just unpacked them. Minty, except on one of the bases there is a little delamination. Looks to be fixable. No water damage, as the particle board underneath is intact and not deteriorated.

    No affiliation, Looks like a pretty mint RTA 12.

    Nope, they are listed correctly. Monitor 12s look like monitor 10s with 2 extra mid drivers and in a taller box.

    Polk Audio Monitor 7B plus Stands.

    Here's a good one for somebody in MD although it is bidding only and start is $195. He redid his crossovers with quality components. "I recently upgraded the crossover circuits in these speakers using Gen I Sonicap capacitors, Vishay Mills resistors, and silver solder. That upgrade added new vitality, depth, and refinement to these speakers, and those components alone cost nearly the price I’m asking here. This translates into a great deal for you!" No affiliation on my part.
