Hello everyone, I need some opinions on these. Are there any very goods or bads? I would most likely use these for music in a 2 channel setup. Is $150 a good deal, they seem to be in very decent shape. I appreciate any light anyone can shed. Thanks

    The SL2000 should be replaced with the RD0194-1, which will make them sound much better.

    I have interest on older Polks, but do admit, I have 0 experience with them. I do know some are more sought after than others and just wanted to make sure these would be worth the money. Where would I look for the replacement RD0194-1 F1nut? I have a problem, I always want to buy every cool looking speaker my wife and wallet will let me buy. I like projects and hearing different setups.

    RDO tweeters can be ordered from Polk at around $50 each.
    So if you spend $150, new tweeters will cost another $100 plus any other upgrades.
    Adds up quick.
    What's worth to one may not be worth to other...

    They are certainly worth $150.00 and if you like them as is, you'll know they will be even better with the new tweeters.
