My wife accidentally hit one of my rear R150's the other day, causing the magnet to pop off the driver. It seems irreparable.

My front speakers are R50s and I can't remember what my center is (CSR, maybe?)

Is anyone selling just one speaker (R150, preferably) by chance? If not, I'll be willing to buy a pair, but I am looking for the best deal possible. I'm not ready to upgrade my entire system just yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You may want to contact Polk CS just in case - I wouldn't be surprised if they sent you a new driver.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    +1 But if do end up buying new speakers, I have a pair of R15's I'll let go for around $50. If you wanted them, we could get more specific on price, shipping cost, etc. They're in good shape and I have the original boxes.

    I spoke with Polk CS and they wanted $50 + tax + S&H for a single new driver for the R150.

    PSOVLSK: I live just north of McKinney; I noticed you're in the DFW area. The R15's are just model just before the R150, right? Practically the same driver?

    Thanks guys!

    I'm in The Colony, so meeting up wouldn't be a problem.

    I believe the R15 and R150 are basically the same speaker, but I could be wrong.

    So, to send a PM, I need to have posted at least 10 messages. This will be #9.

    Hopefully, this makes #10.

    BTW: I just found out my center speaker is a CSi25.

    The 15 is ported to the front, and the 150 to the rear, if I am not mistaken, otherwise very similar speakers.

    Here's the link to the product page. I was wrong. Looks like the R15 is basically the same as the T15. The R15 is definately the same line as your mains (R50).
