I have to get a replacement tweeter for one of my Polk Monitor 10A speakers. I know that the Polk Monitor 10A used the nice Peerless tweeters. However, I just found out that there were actually two types of Peerless tweeters used by Polk, an early version made in Denmark (#75441880) and a later version made in the USA (#55141081).

I do not know which type of Peerless tweeter my Monitor 10As have? How do I find out?

Also, is there a difference between the 2 Peerless tweeters or can I use either one to replace my bad tweeter?
Thank you.

    I guess you could remove it from the cabinet and see if there is a number on it somewhere.:eek:
    My humble setup...

    ...is no more. :cry:
