cool..... I'd love to hear those RTA 12's.... but I think the monitor 12's would sound better. You don't happen to have a pic of those, do you?

Russ, I was not aware that they made a monitor 11. What year did they arrive in?

The monitor 12 looks awesome. I'm thinking about buying something in the monitor series, 10 or bigger.

Not sure on the 11 production date, I'll look it up when I get home.

I always thought the 12 was a real looker, I'd love to have a pair.

Cheers,
Russ

Its a shame those are in the guys garage. I hope he lets them come inside for awhile.

He just happened to pick up on those 12s with some vintage 70's Luxman gear. I remember my first experience with SDA's was with that warm Luxman sound.

I have owned Polk since in both house & car.

Going on memory alone, the production of the Monitor 11 was 1985 or 1986.

those Polk happen to be in My garage. My collection outgrew my house so I was "forced" to build a double garage. I only put one door on it though and a wall down the middle. so half the garage is used for nothing more than audio storage, mostly speakers but some albums, components etc. I moved them out to the vehicle side just for the picture.

My wife always gets a kick out of the tons of gear I see here on clubpolk and AK. I have had as many as 5 HT setups in my house at one time and the "pile" of unused gear seems to grow every month. I am recently in the process of moving a couple of hours away and it took multiple truck and trailer trips to get my gear into the new house.

She has been great about it all, since she loves the sights and sounds it gives. I do have to constantly hear her talk about us men being older versions of the boys we once were, though.

Keep up the collection!

Damn Russmann, Those are some nice looking speakers! I bet they sound good with a 2-channel rig. I am planning to get me one going ASAP. What type of amp/receiver and speakers do you suggest?
