From the ad:
"The previous owner removed the clear plastic cover that Polk places over the tweeters which was designed for artificial dispersion - he liked the high frequency better that way."

Huh?:confused:
Polk SDA SRS 2
Polk RTA 15tl
Polk Monitor 7C
Polk Lsi9
Infinity RS-II (modded)
Infinity RS-IIIa (modded)
Infinity RS 2.5 x 2
Magnepan 1.6QR (modded)

    All I can think is that he cut the domes off. But then you wouldn't hear much in the way of high frequencies at all.

    Idiot. His kid probably cut them off in a crack haze.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Let me ask a dumb question....
    What is it with the tendency of so many people to take something nice (like big speakers) and make them into something not-so-nice? I don't get it. I would so love to hang around some people who are actually interested in making things better. Maybe I'm just way out of touch.
