Hey everyone, this is my first post to the forum! I have a pair of Polk Monitor 10's that my dad passed on to me. I power them with an Adcom gfa-555. I use them as a second pair of monitors to mix with in my control room. I've been listening to them since I was a little kid.

SO..... recently one of the tweeters quit working (stock sl-2500). I've done some reading here, and it seems like everyone agrees that the RDO-194 tweeters are an upgraded replacement. I just can't find them anywhere! I would like to replace both of the tweeters with them. Do they require crossover modification? I want these speakers to last me a lifetime, and keep sounding great. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    If they are the sl2500(black dome instead of clear dome), the correct replacement would be the rdo-198 & I read that they are out of stock for a couple weeks. You would call Polk for those and preorder
