Hi, I'm new to this group but I have a pair of RTA 8T's that I purchased in the very early 90's, I just picked up a Scott 299C amp to use with my RTA 8T's and noticed the SL 2500 tweeter wasn't working on one of the speakers. I took it out and hooked up another tweeter just to test that it was the tweeter and it works fine. Where is the best place to purchase a replacement tweeter? And should I upgrade the tweeter to the SL 3000 or use another SL 2500?
Thank you
Dom

Hi Dom,
Welcome to Polk's forum. Polk made a replacement for the SL2500 called the RD0198-1 and it was very well received. I may be wrong but I don't believe Polk has any of them remaining, but you can check with them at 1-800-377-7655 and follow prompts for parts. If they don't, I see there are some for sale on eBay that seem reasonably priced. If it were me I would replace both of the tweeters it would clearly be audible over the originals.

Do you have 8T or 8TL? 8T's had the SL2000 tweeters. The correct replacement for those are the RD0194

Hi and thanks for the reply's. I'll give polk a call, I'll also check out eBay and midwest. The label on the back of the cabinet says RTA 8T 31692.
