It would appear the tweeter for the 10B that had barbequed 6.5 inch drivers and a detonated low side cap did not escape after all. It is sounding buzzy. I will need to replace both sides this time. What is the part number at Polk for the replacement. I understand the replacement is better then the original. I know this has been discussed here but I want to make sure I get the best replacement.


P.S. Now I am not so sure it is the tweeter one of the new 6.5 inch drivers might be going away, this does not bode well. fortunately I ordered a second set of MW-6503's. How is Polk on replacing bad drivers?

    I feel a whole lot better now, it turns out the cable I am using for the digital feed from the sound card on the PC is bad. My present sound card does not have a optical out, nor does it have a proper coaxial digital out it needs replacement.

    However I would still like the info on the tweeters. If the replacement is better then I want a pair.

    The law of Saint Vidicon of The Cathode cross is still in force, it you have the replacement part on hand the original will never fail.:wink:

    Depends on which tweeter you have. The SL2000 or the silver fisheye is replaced with the RD-0194. The SL2500 or the black to a goldish colored tweeter is replaced with the RD-0198. Make sure you check which one first.
