Very sexy... I still hope to snag a pair of RTA11TLs to fill in the gap between my older stuff and newer RTis... Had an opportunity to get a set for $80... yah still kicking myself.

Congrats on your score!

1000 posts. I also picked up that TV for $225, I like the all black and silver look.

Very nice!! I still think the 11 series in the RTA line was the best. I had the TL's at one point. Played very well at low to moderate volumes but cranking them up always popped drivers...

Don't get me wrong I loved the LS 90's and never had a chance to A-B them but the RTA's seem to have better clearer mids and maybe just a tad more highs even with the sl 2000's. That is just my opinion and I do have one of the worst living rooms for acoustics. Bass is nonexistent in my living room so I cannot compare. and I do like the looks of the RTA better

Nice Kevin,

It seems like the RTA 11's / 15's, and the Rti 12's are almost as hard to find as the SDA's. Hell they may be harded to find then the SDA's

I wonder if the A9's will be like that some day.

Sure they will as long as they're are rich punks that buy them and destroy them blasting eminem on a pos Awai 80 wpc receiver and an I pod for the source.

Good price on those. I've got the 11TL's, a very nice speaker for two channel or HT.

RTA's were never too popular. Easiest explained as Monitor 7's and Monitor 10's were less expensive and RTA's were in the dreaded middle ground. The jump from RTA-11's to SDA-2B's was like 15% max. They're still very nice speakers and ahead of their time. I wouldn't mind a pair of RTA's, so long as they're not RTA-8's! :p (I'd take them for free, though. I'm not a fan of bass-reflex either.)

42283Nice snag...colors too ( Not a raider fan, and still ordered my pool table with black
felt and silver/gray felt for the rails :) )

There is a local pair here as well for 140 OBO...prob could pick them up for a C note .

Sorry I thought I replied to everyone, bass is great, just depends on set up and your room as always.
