    They came with MW6503's so yes many others take those drivers

    Someone beat me to the punch. :'(

    How much was it?

    They were 125 dollars.

    $125 for 8 drivers and 2 tweeters? Yes, I know it is a sin but get out the chop saw!

    Plus, I believe that the bass driver is shared with the one in the 3.1TL.

    I have both. I can double check but I’m pretty sure the 3.1 PW is unique to the 3.1.

    Not that you need more opinions, but I say go for it. You obviously don't need these speakers to give you the satisfaction you need with your current audio setup, and the set you would like the parts for is obviously not performing to your satisfaction. If you leave these whole, you'll have two sets of speakers that you are unsatisfied with. Use them for parts and you have the potential of being completely satisfied. Plus, the more rare these things become, the more enjoyment everyone gets from finding the ones they find. I say it's a win/win.

    No problem. They look a lot alike. I assume the weight might be the only difference. I love all my Polks.

    SRT fronts. IIRC parts are nearly unobtainable. Also, the control module is required.

    Bass modules tend to have major issues at this point. If you're not looking for parts for an SRT system you already have, might not be worth the trouble.

    I know there are others with more knowledge than me. Hopefully, they chime in.

    Please have a seat over here John.

    Yes, this is an intervention.

    The Polk family is all here today because we love you but we're worried about your use of hashtags. You're not even the same person anymore. I saw you going through my wallet. I know you stole money so you could go out and buy more hashtag. I think cold turkey is best here but we'll be by your side while you do it.

    I wouldn't pay 500.00 for them UNLESS I had a good set. Controller is very hard to come by so there's that.

    I know you said it was included, I'm just stating it may be the best part.

    They could be 1.2's if they have the pin/blade IC socket.

    Picture on the back looks like the pin blade to me.

    Are you referring to the label when you say the picture on the back? If so, the sticker shows blade/blade. We can't go by the label because Polk used old stock parts on newer models. We need to see the actual socket itself in order to confirm.

    I'm not that familiar with the SDA line and where they all fall. I love the 3.1's I have and really need to get them to the house in Camden. I also noticed that guy has other stuff for sale. Half tempted to pm him. I've always wanted to meet some of the fellow audio people and experience and learn more.

    11T's in Delaware near Philly. Given the apparent condition, I think these are a good buy. If I had a place for them they'd be mine.

    Wasn't this line an early home theater type speaker? Or was it just the next design above the original Monitor series?

    It was part of the RTA series, the t in 11t stood for tower in some original papers I read.
