SDA SRS 1.2TL Breakdown

Hello,
I just acquired a pair of PolkAudio speakers. I'm based in Luxembourg (Europe).
They aren't installed yet because I haven't found anyone to help me set them up in my upstairs listening room.
Six speakers are missing. My question is: are these speakers still available?
Thank you

6 x RD-0198-1

You should replace all 8 of them.

Why ?
And if I find 6 original SL3000 ? -
The RD-0198-1 is a better tweeter design than the original SL3000 from 35 years ago and it's best to have all the tweeters matching. Look up Midwest Speaker Repair on US Ebay. They have the replacement tweeters in stock and they'll ship internationally.

Replace all 8 with the RD-0198-1, they are much better tweeters. Trust me! I had 6 sl3000 in my 2.3tl, the 198's are MUCH smoother more coherent tweeters in every way. I wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't for my own ears. -
Thanks for your message

Phil, take some time to read through the builds on the SDA's. Especially the ones you now have, they're something very special.
Lot's of good information on what to do to Bullet-Proof your 1.2 TL's, and how to get the best sound out of them. The one above, suggested tweet upgrade, is first.
Lot's of knowledgable folks here that love sharing the do's and what they found along the way.
They all helped me on my journey of my first ever Polk's, the SDA SRS. Love them.
