    Because if this is right and the MV6510 will work... there's a good number of them for sale on Ebay right now.

    There is no "V" in any vintage Polk driver model and no 2B ever came from the factory with the MW6510.

    Sorry...the "V" was clearly a typo..!!!

    You are more then likely right regarding the MW6510..
    Just going off the list. It's on there twice.

    I don't have a dog in the race here so I'm out...

    jbail,

    2B Studios were my first big boy speakers. They sound amazing! I still have them albeit, they’re in storage

    Just a thought or 2 ...

    If there’s anyway to relocate your set up, please consider doing so.
    SDA’s should be about 3 feet away (or more) from the nearest sidewall (for optimum SQ)

    Your search for vintage Polk parts may end soon OR take till the end of the summer, maybe longer ...🤭 All depends on the market

    You may want to scour several websites, several times a day, especially CP.
    You also may want to reach out to Dave @verb and ask him “what the method is, to his madness.” I think the man can find anything online

    Just my .02

    Where are you located?

    Edit, btw if you locate any 6503’s that are in good to VG condition, I’d be interested if there’s extras!!

    Thanks Glen. I have been considering moving my set up. The opposite wall has more room. Thanks for telling me the recommended 3 feet from the side wall.

    I will keep an eye out for these for sure and I'll be sure to let you know if any extras pop up.

    Can anyone address the amp? Any feedback on the Adcom GFS-535ii?

    It sounds pretty good but depending on your listening levels it will run out of oomph quick.

    A GFA 545 or GFA 555 would be better suited for the 2Bs. I run mine with a GFA 545 and it packs quite a punch...granted I am in a small room.
