    Those are the RS-II’s he has. Although they need some love (need new surrounds on all 4 woofers, and a lot of Renaissance Wax!)

    Oooo that isolation cable is worth 100.00

    and it's already in the bag because he can't use it with his tweeters.

    Tweeters have nothing to do with that cable and it is designed for 2.3's which all are pin/blade designs.

    Wrong again junior you see if you remove the cable you can use sl2500's I tried it on my sda2's. If you connect the cable the tweeters get totally screwy.

    Try again.

    You are comparing apples to oranges... SRS 2.3's don't have the wonky SDA tweeters like early SDA 2's do.

    Mathew Polk stopped using dimensional tweeters after producing the early SDA's like you have. He did it for a good reason too.

    When discussing 2.3's the tweeters have nothing to do with the interconnect cable, just like I previously stated....

    I'm not saying it's perfect at all but it makes music if you have destroyed 2000's for example.

    My question is why. SL2000's aren't hard to find, I have well over a dozen of them just laying around in boxes.

    The SL2500 is not the correct upgrade for the SL2000, and they are not compatible with your crossover.

    They are your speakers however and you are free to do whatever you'd like to with them.

    Always loved that rosewood finish. These speakers were IMO one of the nicest looking speakers Polk sold. I've always wanted a pair, but these are on the wrong coast...

    70's were the ugly stepchild of the LS series IMO. The larger drivers sounded bloated, midrange not as smooth as the 90's and 50's.

    No...maybe if they have upgraded caps and are in minty condition.

    Maybe 150 if they're super clean. They are early with the peerless tweets, so that helps...

    I typically find them @ 100 or less. But YMMV based on location.
