    Buy a set of speakers from this century?

    What's wrong with yours?
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    His passives are missing, someone removed them.

    I'm surprised Polk doesn't have them, usually they're pretty good about support for discontinued speakers.

    That sucks, keep watch on ebay, SDA/RTA are parted out all the time.

    They haven't supported PR's in years. I used a pair of Peerless PR's in a pair of SDA's a long time ago, worked just fine.

    Your going to have to use your own skills with a measuring tape and a pencil to get the cabinet dimensions and volume specifics....this is not information that is available from Polk Audio.

    In regards to a aftermarket replacement PR, again you'll have to use your own judgement. I picked the Peerless because it was a drop in fit, was roughly matched in regards to specifications and the weighting of it was a best guess scenario but I didn't perceive any problems. The new owner of them loved them, case closed.

    It's time to put your thinking cap on, good luck.
