Just wondering if anyone has replaced the original tweeters and/or reboxed them to get a better look?
I had mine done about 15 years ago - all black semi gloss mica finish (same size box) w original grills. Also switched to a Vifa tweeter and had the cross overs rebuilt with newer components (and to match the tweeter). Reproduced a set of I stands in the matching fisinsh as well.
My original tweeters would always trip, and the speakers sounded slightly different when run in isolation and then compared. Now they are identical (after the cross over upgrade).

So they're not really Polk 10B's anymore."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
