Hello from Central Illinois
Hello. I just picked up my first set of polk audio speakers today at a garage sale. They are M12 speakers and I paid $50.00 for the pair. Cosmetically they have a few issues but all the drivers work. However, when I was listening to them tonight I noticed some scratchiness coming from the tweeters. One in particular is really scratchy. I noticed from reading a few posts on here that this is a common issue with the sl2500 tweeters. I also read that the RDO-198's are the replacement tweets for the sl2500's. Will replacing the sl2500's with the RDO-198's eliminate the scratchiness altogether? Here are some pics of my M12's

Nice score. I have no experience with those tweeters so, sorry I can't help. Welcome to club polk.

Welcome to Club Polk!!
Even if you have to put in a couple of new tweeters, that is a nice score! For the price paid - a really nice score!! :biggrin:
Others more in-the-know will weigh in soon on if that's the right replacement tweeter - maybe tomorrow, I think everyone's out celebrating Polk Audio's 40th Birthday today (Friday)! :cheesygrin:
Watch your wallet around here, some of these people will be happy to help you part with some serious coin! :eek: -
If that's the right replacement tweeter, I think Polk sells them for $60 apiece - but if you tell them you're a Club Polk member, they'll sell them to you for $48 apiece and give you free shipping!
Polk's customer service really is pretty hard to beat. :exclaim: -

At what volume level did this issue become evident and what are you using to power them with? Also, what is your source?Political Correctness'.........defined

Pioneer Receiver Jess
Pioneer SX-D7000
My guess is that it may just be the pioneer itself certainly is old enough to have some oxidation in some of the pots.
