    Your second picture indicates that they are model 5B. There is no right or left until you place them .

    Monitor 5B with the nasty SL2000 tweeters.

    Thanks for the quick response. I grabbed these for $50, was wondering about the tweeter...is the tweeter worth upgrading?

    yes you can buy the RD-0194 replacement tweeter. Try Polk customer service first they may have some, if not you're left with Midwest Speaker as the place to buy.

    Belles 21A Pre modded with Mundorf Supreme caps
    B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks refreshed and upgraded
    Polk SDA 1C's modded / 1000Va Dreadnaught
    Wireworld Silver Eclipse IC's and speaker cables
    Harman Kardon T65C w/Grado Gold. (Don't laugh. It sounds great!)

    So will replacing the tweeter not be an easy swap and drop?
