I just switched a mw4850 from a cs350ls to a ls/fx in place of a mw4851. They seem to sound fine but is using this driver in the ls/fx a problem? The magnet on the 4850 is bigger than the 4851 but everything else seems the same and fits perfectly into the ls/fx.
My SETUP

AVR: Denon 1913
Main L/R: Polk LS90's
Center: Polk CS350LS
Side Surrounds: Polk LS/FX's
Rear Surrounds: Polk RT/FX's
Subwoofer: Polk PSW300

    It's not a problem. The 4850 had a bucking magnet to make it safe to be near an old school CRT TV. You're good...

    nice way to try and step around the rules....

    read on:
    Selling Guidelines

    Note: Besides #1 & #2, the rest of these are just guidelines to make the sale easier.

    You must have a total post count of 100 (contribute to the other parts of the forum) before you can sell anything in the "For Sale (FS) Classifieds" or "Garage Sale" forums.
    List a price you wish to sell the item (include shipping costs). All members asking for secret bids (like ebay) will have their items removed.
    A price + OBO (or best offer) is OK. Please handle "best offers" through private messages.
    Post pictures of equipment with manual cords, etc..
    Give approximate age of item you are selling.
    State whether you are original owner.
    State condition of equipment (be honest if there is damage).
    Once the sale is complete, please post "SOLD" at the beginning or end of your thread.
