Hi there. New member here that recently bought a pair of Monitor 5Jr's that I just love. What a nice little speaker that is! Anyways, I was thinking of replacing the SL2000s with the new RDO-194s, but apparently they won't be available until October. Is there a secret stash around here that only Club Polk members know about? Otherwise, I guess I can wait until October.

Thanks,

Gavin

    That's what I thought, but I thought I'd give her a try.

    Welcome to Club Polk!

    RD-0194 tweeters show up, occasionally, on this site in the flea market. Keep posting and watch those threads!

    Otherwise, yeah, October.

    I also called a few weeks ago needing 194s and it's no rumor. They are totally out of stock for both 194s and 198s and will not be in until late Oct at the earliest, this according to Matt at Polk C/S........Can't answer your ? of whether 149s is a drop in for 194 that's for the more enlightened.....

    Buying 6 of those is going to be fun, that's 1 advantage to the 2.3's 1 less tweeter 2 less mids.
