My 30 year old Monitor 10s are in need of a tweeter in one of the enclosures. I think it has the SL2000 tweeter in it now.(1). Can I get a replacement speaker and (2). should I replace tweeters in each enclosure? (3). If available, where can it (they) be purchased? Thanks a million for any help.

    The SL2000 tweeter replacement would be the RD0-194. YES you should replace them because the replacement tweeter is BETTER. You would need to replace both tweeters. You can purchase them by calling polk.

    Get the RD0194-1 replacement tweeters from Polk for both speakers. Your PryingEars will thank you.

    +1 The RDO-194 tweeter is far superior to the old SL2000. Call Polk audio to order, and don't forget to tell them you are a Club Polk member. It'll save you some $ You should order replacement RDO-194 tweeters for both speakers.

    Just ordered a pair of RD0194's as replacements for my cracked SL2000's. Anyone know if they are "plugNplay" or will I have to solder them in? Thanks.

    Good decision. Yes, they are "drop in" and "plug and play".
