Hey TENNMAN give it a rest, it is getting old and I really don't see the point. It is not very helpful.

The spider was completely gone on one of the PRs and almost gone on the other PR. I am sorry for the wrong terminology. The rubber surrounds look ok on the MW6500s. No signs of rot.

I will...

Thanks again, not very loud. I only turn the volmue up loud for a very brief moment. I don't want to damage my speakers or the amplifier. Not to mention at 51 I would like to protect what hearing I...

Sorry for posting twice like this but, I forgot to ask if the (Onkyo TX-SV727) amplifier is capable of driving the RTA-12s properly? I looked at the specifications but I am new to this and appreciate...

Thank you for the responses. I will update when the new amplifier comes in.

TENNMAN, really, what is your problem. You made many asumptions about me and what i did without very much information. Not very nice. I only turned the volume up for a moment, and as I said it was a...

I will try experimenting with the individual drivers. I did try the three finger test. If the pressure was not perfectly equal the voice coil would rub.

I bit the bullet and bought a real...

I am driving my RTA-12s with a harmond kardon AVR20 50watts per channel. I mentioned this problem a couple of weeks ago in a thread on this site. I did all that was suggested like insuring the cab...

I see the PRs pop-up on ebay sometimes, which PR is the problem? I was experiencing some distortion with my 11ts. It turned out to be the amp I using could not handle pushing the speakers. The...

I just picked up a MW-6500 on ebay for $22.50 plus $8.00 for shipping.

Here is a pair for $29.00 but the shipping looks high at $18.00.

Do the PRs look right?

On ebay, these look like they are in rough shape! All the screws look rusty like they have been exposed to mositure.

Nice Job TennMan!

Very cool! thank you!

Nico, do you mind sharing the shipping cost? How much does that pair of speakers weight? Welcome and I hope you enjoy those monsters they are beautiful!

I wonder how much they sold for? How many of those monsters did polk build? Even at that price, I bet they don't come up for sale very often.

WOW!

As far volumne control position, just past 12 o clock or a little over half way.

I will check the screws and gaskets in the morning.

I am looking at a yamaha A-1000 natural sound amplifier...

I am sorry, It does take 1 to 2 seconds for the speakers to return or leak off the pressure.

Again, thanks a bunch!

I am going to borrow a amplifier to see if I get different results.

Ok, got it thanks.

As I hold the PR the drivers stay out for much longer than 2 to 3 sec. No leaks from what I can tell.

Thanks so much! you guys are great.....

I don't have a super amp LUXMAN R114 50 watts x 2.

Moved the mw-6500 drivers with the PR and they all seemed to return to their orginal posistion. It...

Thanks for the quick responce.

I searched the fourm but could not come up with the RTA-12s max rms wattage rating? I looked at the schematics posted in one of the stickys and the speakers are the MW-6500s. I took them apart and...

I am new and this is my frist post. I have a pair of RTA12, they are wonderful. A classic album and a must listen Dolly Parton "Little Sparrow". I know Dolly Parton? This is one of the best recording...
