I was looking for a pair of stands for my Monitor 10s and ran across a pair of 10Bs with stands but one non functioning tweeter for $100. Are replacement tweeters still available? I'm thinking the stands alone might be worth it but can I repair the tweeter? Might make nice rears in my surround system.

    Well I picked these up for $60. Now my 10s have stands! Not sure what the difference is between the 10 and 10B monitors is. They appear identical. I have determined that the tweeter is indeed dead. Swapped them to be sure.
    How much of an upgrade are the rdo-194s? Is it worth an the extra expense? From what I have read they run around $50 each. Not sure what a single SL2000 would cost if I can find one.

    Unfortunately I can't check the classified for an SL2000 because I have less than 100 posts.

    Yea the 194 are $48 + tax free shipping. They are well worth it. Ask for Helen mention Club Polk.

    nspindel may still have a pair of old sl2000
