Polk RTA-11 (c. 1982)

Not much is documented about the Polk RTA-11. The period record shows one thing: Audio (August 1982, p.14) mentioned it as a cheaper, simplified version of Polk's Hi Fi Grand Prix Award-winning RTA-12B, in a full floor-standing cabinet. That short product note is all there is. No detailed review or specification sheet for the original RTA-11 has turned up in the sources the archive works from.

Don't confuse it with the "RTA 11t" in Polk's late-1980s tower-loudspeaker advertising. That one is listed at $449.95 each, with 250-watt power handling and 90 dB efficiency. It is the RTA-11T, a later model that this archive catalogs separately. Those figures come from Polk's own ads (High Fidelity, March 1989, p.39; Audio, June 1989, p.51), and they are not documentation of the original RTA-11, whose specifications remain unrecorded.
