    The 2500s in the 8TLs had some frequencies missing/muted IMO. Like it was a quick fix drop in, because they didn't have anything better to drop in at the factory.

    At least are on the right track with the RD0198. As far as toe-in, I attached the instruction manual from Polk. I have found that my RTA-11TL's, that formerly had the SL-3000 tweeters and now have the RD0-198 tweeters, have always sounded better with a little toe-in. But whatever sounds best to you.

    I also attached the RTA line tech info.

    Per the engineer that designed and voiced them, the RTA-15TL always had the SL-3000. So, if they happen to have the SL2500, it was likely because someone replaced the SL3000 with the SL2500.
