Is there a serial number/model number database?

I'm trying to figure out if I have 10A's or 10B's. There's no external fuse on the back and the tweeters are all black. I know the tweeters are different from my 4's, but I wish I knew if they were SL1000, 2000, etc.

No.

Can't you pull the tweeter and look at the back ?JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

Well, the (tweeters) are like NEITHER picture (although your pictures look the same): the coils go more horizontal, not angled down. I don't want to pull the tweeter; with my luck it will slip out of my hand and there goes the dome. I must have a 10B with some later model tweeter, although I remember replacing one of them years ago (like the late 80's) and all four match.Yamaha RX-A2050 AVR (5.0.2); LG OLED77C2 4K TV(4) Polk Monitor 10B's w/SoniCaps, Mills, and RDO-194 tweets (R/L F/R)(2) Polk RC80i (Top Middle)Polk CS300 center channelAnalog: B&O TX2 Turntable, Nakamichi Cassette Deck 1Digital: Pioneer CLD-99 Elite LD, Panasonic DMP-UB900 UHD Blu-RayBedroom: Arylic Up2Stream AMPv3 driving Polk Monitor 4's w/peerless tweets

That's an SL2000. You might consider upgrading to the RD0-194-1 silk dome replacement tweeters from Polk. They are sweeter and much smoother.
Oh yeah, those are 10B's.Political Correctness'.........defined

That is a cool question. Most SNs follow a sequence of some sort. If enough original owners post when bought and the SNs then a database of ranges (if Polk is not talking) can be framed. -
Theoretically, they should have a database of every speaker (serial number) that went out along with what kind of tweeters, drivers, etc. were in them. But I have no idea how sophisticated their shipping & tracking was back whenYamaha RX-A2050 AVR (5.0.2); LG OLED77C2 4K TV(4) Polk Monitor 10B's w/SoniCaps, Mills, and RDO-194 tweets (R/L F/R)(2) Polk RC80i (Top Middle)Polk CS300 center channelAnalog: B&O TX2 Turntable, Nakamichi Cassette Deck 1Digital: Pioneer CLD-99 Elite LD, Panasonic DMP-UB900 UHD Blu-RayBedroom: Arylic Up2Stream AMPv3 driving Polk Monitor 4's w/peerless tweets

It doesn't exist and wouldn't be available if it was....enjoy your loudspeakers.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.

apparently Polk wasn't that worried about keeping track of their loudspeakers. It wouldn't have been that hard, even back then, to keep track of the serials.Ludicrous gibs!
