    Call Polk and order the silk replacements. You can get them for $48 ea. shipped. You'll be very, very happy you did. Replace both.

    I'll echo ND13's comments. Replace both and enjoy your new speakers. The RD0194-1 tweeter is a vast improvement over the old SL2000. Be sure to note which wire goes where.

    Hi
    The RD0194-1 is it better than SL3000 tweeter.
    Thanks

    No, that is wrong. The RD0194-1 replaces the SL2000, while the RD0198-1 replaces the SL3000.
