I found a pair of R40's locally. One tweeter is bad, and confirmed it is just the tweeter. What are your opinions on this speaker in terms of value and performance. Is it worth replacing the tweeter and updating the crossover? I am checking now with Polk to see if they still sell tweeters for the speaker. Also, are the Mid-Woofers (5.25" I believe) reliable if driven resonable. I searched the forum and did not find anyting on R40 speakers.

When we pulled the tweeter to check it out I was surprized at how minimally built it was...especially compared with the Peerless and RDO-194's that I have in the Monitor 5's.

thanks in advance for the input.
