In for a set of 3.1's and 10's. Would like a set for my RTA 12c's too. Maybe my 5jr's and Monitor 12's too!HT/2Channel: Emotiva MMC-1, Adcom GFA-555II, Polk SDA 3.1's, Teac TN-300 TT, Polk Center and Sub.

Additional projects: RTA 12c's -
I'm in for a complete set for CRS+'s. I definitely want the tweeter and xover plates when they become available as well
-
Larry.... a thought, if you run some of the xover plates, perhaps run a couple ones for those of us with round plates.

May I suggest you pass along a copy to someone as a backup measure

Good news, but I have to ask - how critical are these?? Will they help as much as the driver rings?? Not being critical at all, just curious.

vmaxer, there is no effect on the audio by using the tweeter brackets. There is a great effect (upon you) from the comfort in knowing that the screw holes won't ever be stripped out after installing the tweeter brackets.

"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

brgman, I am not sure if you were being sacrastic (in general) or towards my response. I will say that I noticed a HUGE improvement in the clarity and detail produced by all SDA's I installed Larry's ring into.....HUGE.
However, I did not notice any audible improvement after installing the tweeter brackets into any of my SDA's; only what I described above I hope this resolves any issues anyone had with my response above.

I am fairly certain his comment was not aimed at you and was a veiled inference to the thread that talks about AVSForum, where all things sound the same and meant entirely in jest....
I am sure he knows they make a difference in real life.

This^^^ that's the way I took it..
Greg is dead on about the tweeter brackets though..

Yeah, my initial thought too guys. Just clarifying on my end.

Larry,
I sent a note (at least I tried to send a note) also but haven't heard back. It could be I'm not using the new system correctly. Just when I was getting my feet wet with old system they went and changed it. Can someone explain how to send a PM using the new system or point me towards a thread that explains it.
