    Hello polklover,
    Welcome to Polk's forum. While I'm not sure if Polk has any of those drivers left it would still be a good idea to contact them as a beginning point. Their telephone number is: 1-800-377-7655 or you can email them at: polkcs@polkaudio.com.
    Regards, Ken

    Hello polklover, If you have a difficult time lcating the speakers with Polk "CS" you can always check parts express.
    I just found out about this site and I'm like a kid at Christmas morning!!! They have something for everyone.
    Another CP member turned me on to that site.... Now I can't leave it!

    Hi Ken,
    I spoke with Polk's technical support. They don't have any of these drivers in stock any longer. Any other ideas you have are welcome.

    Keep an eye on ebay as they show up there from time to time. There is a pair of S10 speakers presently listed. You could use them as is or grab parts out of them. Personally I feel that the S6 and S8 are a better balanced speaker than the S10, which is rather bass heavy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Polk-Audio-S10-Floorstanding-Speakers-/230923863627?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item35c422864b
