Polk RM series ll and RM 3000 satellites.
Which of these was produced first? What is the differences in them? What years were they produced?

Hello,
The original RM3000 system was produced from 1990 until 1995 and the RM3000II was produced from 1995 until 1996 both systems sold for $850.00 including two satellites and a single passive subwoofer. The major difference was the mid range driver used in the satellites and the bass drivers in the subwoofer. The RM3000 system used the RD0303-1 driver and the series II driver was the RD5001-3. The original RM3000 sub used two MW6517 drivers and the series II used two MW7002. The original sub used a single SW103 passive radiator and the series II used a single SW1012 passive radiator. The tweeters remained the same in both systems however the two systems used different crossovers due to different drivers.
Regards, Ken

I think the RM 3000's were first, not for sure however. Years?, differences? I would ask Ken who is on here from time to time. Welcome to Club Polk!

Thanks for the welcome, I have been a fan owner since the 80s I guess just after their start up.

I bought the RM3000 way back then but couldn't remember the dates. All I do remember is the sub shook the walls. Never saw a radiator move that fast before! Being a 2 channel person first it didn't take me long to go back to two front stereo speakers instead. Fun for a little bit though...
