Looking for replacement MW6511 for SDA 2.3

Options


Hey guys, Looking for a 6511. Anyone got one? I know you can get allot of these new but I bought one before for a different set and it looks allot different than the originals and sticks out like a sore thumb... or a new speaker amongst a wall of classic ones to be more accurate.

Thanks

Tim

    Tim,
    Keep an eye out on Ebay. You may be forced to buy a set of 4, that way it will match cosmetically. Of course the other solution is to put the grills on. {;o)
    And I can highly recommend doing what I've just done to my set of 2.3s. Hurricane nuts, rebedding the speakers, and a bit of sonic foam. Great bang for the buck!
    Cheers,

    Yep agree. You can create a search for mw6511 so that eBay will notify you as soon as one is listed. Or you can wait for Karma. I recently gave one away!

    Is there a list somewhere of all the different 65xx's and their model number designation?

    Also, I should mention Polk audio here in Canada still sells replacement SL2000s and the replacements for SL3000s for the same price

    Yeah, they are horrible. Get the new ones.
