:confused:
I have a "rattle" in one of my tweeters that's bugging me and needs to be replaced or fixed. I saw the ebay auction for the SL3000 and was just wondering if I can swap them for the SL2500, or is the rattle repairable? I only notice the rattle at higher power (-35db or better) and typically on vocals and brassy audio sections (4k Hz range) .

Thanks -
Chris

    Welcome to the forum.

    The rattle can not be fixed, so the best thing for you to do is buy the Polk replacement for the SL2500 and replace both of them. The SL3000 will not work in your speakers.
