Both of my 5 year old r50's have open tweeters. I found that my r20's have the same tweeter so I put them in and they seem to be working fine. Where can I get replacments? Is there a more robust upgrade available? When I look online I find a lot of complaints about these tweeters but no better options available.

    I thought this was "A direct line to Polk Audio customer service"?

    If and when you get replacement tweeters for them, it might be interesting if you share what you're using to drive them with, as well as how loud you usually play them?

    I am curious because I own a 10+ year-old pair, and never had any issues with mine.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
