Long time Polkie, 1st time poster.

I just recently purchased CS250S Center Channel for $20 (I really wanted the 350ls, but is too large for the space i need it in) 1 of the drivers is blown out and so is the tweeter.

My current set up involves:
CS-250S
RT-12s Front
RT-3s Rear
PSW-50 Sub.

I plan on replacing the SL5001 Tweeter with the same one.

Is there a better set of Drivers to match my set up or should I just stay with the MW4801? Thanks!

    might switch out all my sl5501s (5) for tri lams. Anybody have a second opinion on that?

    Stay with the stock tweeter. I used to believe that an 8ohms tweeter was an 8 ohm tweeter, and a 43 was a 4, but XO's are not that simple. Stay stock unless Polk recommends differently. Call Polk CS they are one of the best.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Pencil the tri-lam's are available on e-bay for a very cheap price. I believe 40-45 for both. They are the silver looking ones. I replaced the tweeters on my RT's with them.

    The search on e-bay doesn't come up as Polk tweeters. You have to search "tri-lamintate" in quotes, then it will come up.

    I did notice a bit of better highs with the tri-lam's.
    Plus they look better.
