I found some interesting Model 7 parts on eBay. I had never seen this XO or the tweeter with the squared off bezel before.

BTY, I am not associated with this ebay listing. I just thought the parts an interesting part of Polk Audio history.

    I've seen that listing. Pretty cool. That's the HD 12-9 D25 Audax tweeter that Polk used before the Peerless.

    Hard to tell about the tweeters in this Model 9A. It's got that fancy-schmanzy piece of high-density foam stuck on the front. :p
