    If advice is given by someone who has no direct experience in the matter and I do then I'm going to share my direct experience everytime it's appropriate.

    Who else has replaced their sl2000's with sl3000's? If no one has then no can refute the great results I had and continue to have doing so.

    Oh my god you are dense, denser than a piece of 3/4" MDF.

    Here's the original poster's question:
    Could someone please let me know if the SL3000 tweeter and the RD0194-1 tweeters are the same item or not. I am looking at upgrading my SDA SRS speakers and my local Polk Agent has informed me they have SL3000 tweeters in stock but are these the same as the RD0194-1's and if not what is the difference?

    He tells me the SL2500 were the replacement for the SL2000 that I currently have and that the SL3000 is the replacment for the SL2500, if these are the same as the RD0194-1's then this will save me importing any.

    Read slowly, nowhere does he ask if anyone has used sl3000's in place of sl2000's and what those results might be. N-O-W-H-E-R-E. Your response was confusing because it didn't answer his question.

    Again for the 3rd time, no one (speaking for myself here) is trying to discredit your opinion about the sl3000's you have in your SDA SRS's. What I have been saying all along is your responses were confusing because you didn't answer his question instead you went off on another tangent, similar yes, helpful no.

    Gee whiz

    The answer to his question is yes you can replace the sl2000 with the sl3000 which your local polk dealer has already recommended. If you don't like them, maybe the dealer will let you return them and then pursue the extra cost of ordering the rd0194's.

    FAWK, I'm done here. You have the reading comprehension of a dung beetle.

    I'm confirming my personal experience with what his Polk dealer recommended which is what I hope everyone does around here. I try to base my audio opinions on personal experiences instead of stuff I've read or heard.

    You forgot to mention that you run tube equipment, warm cables, and can't hear over 2kz. :rolleyes:

    I'm glad you like them, please don't pass this advice onto others though.

    I do advise everyone to try it and see if they like it but a easier experiment is to connect a $3.00 2.0-2.2uf/50v mylar cap to the positive lead of the sl2000 which I've tried and also highly recommend. You can do the same thing to the sl3000.

    I'll just stick with my RD0-194's which sound perfectly fine to me. I had the SL-3000's in the SDA 1C's when i got them and they were changed out not too long after that. Sure, they worked and played but, speaking from MY personal experience as someone that HAD them in there, I would get the RD0's. MY ears didn't like how they (SL-3000's) worked in that setup.

    Not true. He asked two questions:

    "Are the 3000's the same as the 194's" ?

    and

    "If not, what are the differences" ?

    Everything else is potentially informative but has nothing to do with the questions asked.
    Sony 60'' SXRD 1080p
    Amp = Carver AV-705THX 5-Channel
    Processor = NAD T747
    Panasonic BD35 Blu-Ray
    Main = SDA-1C Studio with RD0s, spikes, XO rebuild, rings, I/C upgrade
    Center=Polk CS10, Surround = Athena Dipoles, Sub= Boston 12HO
    Music/Video Streaming = Netgear NEO550
    TT = Audio Technica

    thanks in advance.

    He currently has the sl2000 and would like to know about the sl3000 compared to the RDO's. So (by reading between the lines, which I do so well:rolleyes:), he is replacing the his current sl2000 with either the sl3000 or the RDO's. Of corse he is getting his information from a local Polk agent, not Polk themselves.


    ..from what I understand...
    Monitor 7b's front
    Monitor 4's surround
