    Right here.

    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    You should also replace the sandcast resistors with Mills. They are also available from soniccraft. I assume you have the SL2000 tweeters and a polyswitch. The polyswitch should be replaced with a 0.5 Ohm resistor. There is a much better and smoother sounding tweeter that is a direct replacement, the RD0-194. It can be ordered from Polk customer service for ~$50 each. Tell them you are a forum member and shipping is free.

    There is also the SL3000 mod which requires more parts and uses the RD0-198 tweeter, a replacement for the SL3000. A link to the schematic is below. All the schematics can be found in the vintage speaker section.

    Some feel the RD0-198 sounds even better than the RD0-194. Both sound better than the SL2000.

    I have the 194's and 4 new drivers.
    I have also African mahogany veneer that I'll be applying.
    I'm about 50% through the restoration.
    They go on the operating table tomorrow..
