Managed to pick up this peachy pair of Series 2 5jr's on the WE. Can see a soldering iron in my future.

    I believe that the tweeter used in that model was the SL-2500...

    Had a Pair of 5jr+ (SL 2000 tweeter) and they were one of my favorites of all time.

    Decent deep bass for the size, and great overall sound.

    Nice. Those were my first Polks (in oak vinyl wrap).

    Currently pulling duty at my in-laws, still sounding good.
