Replacing mid driver on these speakers. Polk says MW6502 is the part. Will the part ordered from Polk today be the same as the original driver? Or are replacement parts from Polk a different quality than original, in which case better to order used on eBay?

Also, would you typically just order the one driver--other one works fine--or do I need to buy two new drivers to "match"? Thanks for thoughts.

    Polk replacements are pretty close but if it's doable, buy two and sell the original.
    Buying from ebay is okay but the drivers are very susceptible to magnet shift during shipping so it's risky.
    Also, a lot of other models use 6502 so if you can get the following models locally, you'll have the same woofer and one extra.
    Monitor 4
    Monitor 4.5
    Monitor 4.6
    Monitor 5B
    Monitor 5jr
    Monitor 5jr+
