Looking at pictures might not be very accurate. In this one the 15's tweeter might be slightly below the 11TL position.

That's what I deducted. If you transpose the 11TL Image over the 15TL, the 11's tweeter is above the 15's...???

@xschop is going to make me some for an SDA tweet mod.

These guys have been trying to sell these RTA 8T for $260 for over a year and logically, they increased to price to $350 since nobody has bought it. This is how you fish for an idiot by the book.

I like how the scans make them look like carbon fiber...

EDIT: Looking at these again, are those some sort of tweeter cones glued to the SL2000?

Better run away I guess

tweeters look SL2000 with a turtle neck made of something.

For pristine conviction SRS 2 fair market price is $500 max. I bought mine for $375 a year ago. So the bundle with a receiver, “mixer” and sub looks more like a garage clean out.

Not SDA or Monitor, but a great deal nonetheless.

Wish I felt the need in having a spare just in case, I think $250 is a steal, and my son lives in Berthoud.

I do have a pair of new 703’s put away. 🤪

No, more for smaller monitor 4, 5jr like speakers.

Here's a PDF

For $75 it would be fun to play around with..

The passive has miraculously not bubbled. Most of the foam fronted passives did so, some very badly.

boston1450 · February 25

I have a pair of 5a in closet I'd love to try it with that. Wish I was closer

engie490 · February 26

If anyone is really interested, I can pick this up and ship it. It comes with the original box!

I am interested. How much approx do you think will it be to ship to California, 94303?

engie490 · February 26

I have no idea. I’ll have to ask the owner for dimensions of the box and weight.

I found details about the speaker itself. Packaging I think will not add much to it:
* Height: 18.75 inches (47.6 cm)
* Width: 16.25 inches (41.3 cm)
* Depth: 16.5 inches (41.9 cm)
* The weight is approximately 50 pounds (22.7 kg).

VSAT88 · February 26

That is a hefty joker right there. Looks awesome. I hope you get it @alexanikin .

engie490 · February 26

FedEx says $129! I added 2 inches all around and 10 pounds for the box.

Are you sure about the height? One the pics seems to show the height as around 29 inches. That extra 10 inches adds about $50!

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I have to pass. The delivery cost way too much for the experiment to hold the speaker w/o knowing I would utilize it. I appreciate you taking the time to think about the opportunity.

bcwsrt · February 26

That’s some interesting Polk history right there. First I’ve heard of the LF14, that I recall. Looks like a great score for the serious Polk collector.

Still haven't heard anything back from the seller so not even sure this is real.

engie490 · February 29

Seller finally replied....says it weighs 35 pounds and is 32x19x15. Fedex says ground shipping to 94303 is $86ish.

Thank you, I appreciate your help. I will pass cuz yesterday, I committed to another pair of speakers, and in order to get it I have to buy a full 5.1 HT...

Maybe somebody else here will be interested, cuz $86 for shipping is pretty good.

What're the gaps above and below where the MWs meet in the middle? Looks like the front of the cabinet between has been cut out.

7c’s too big for this you think? I’m only pushing 45 wpc with my Yamaha amp (which frankly is fine as I don’t want/need to blow the windows out).
