hoping that someone can tell me if SL1000 tweeters in earlier monitor 10 are smoother than ones i have in monitor 10 b 's. since I have done alot of listening various music and putting speakers on stands of different heights. still harsh for my taste .thanks

    10b's have the SL2000, AFAIK. You likely are interested in their modern replacement, the RDO194. It's available direct from Polk - and let them know that you're a Club Polk member. You get a discount and free shipping.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    jk,

    Welcome aboard.

    You will like the RDO-194's! I think the last I bought were $48 ea + free shipping for Polkies. If you are patient, every once in a while gently used 194's show up for a few dollars less in the "Classifieds" section.

    Everything shipped by Polk will be the new RDO 194-1. I believe they referred to them as "SL2000(RDO 194-1) to imply they are a direct drop in for the SL2000's in your cabinets.
