Apparently the tweeter in one of my Monitor 5 Series 2 speakers has decided to stop working. The part number on the back of the tweeter says it is an SL-2500. Anybody have a working one that they'd be willing to part with?

Check the tweeter with a multi meter first, and then decide if you need a new tweeter. Polk has very nice silk dome replacements for your speakers. Call customer service. They can hook you up with new speakers.

I swapped the tweeters between the working and non-working speaker and the problem (no sound out of the one tweeter) followed the tweeter to the other speaker. So, I figure it has got to be the tweeter.

RDO's will do the trick. Mention your a forum member for discounts. Just call customer service.

Thanks, I'll do that in a few days unless someone here ends up having a spare SL2500 for sale.

BTW, is it ok "balance-wise" to just replace the one speaker's SL2500 with one of the RDOs? Or do I absolutely need to replace the SL2500s on both?

Thanks!

I replace both RDO's are must smoother then the 2500 and 2000. Much better on the ears. Replace both.

I have a pair of Monitor 5s, series 2 with sl2500, I could sell you one
for $200. Does anyone know if the RDO is a drop in for the 2500?

The new RDO's sound much better than the SL2500's. Replace both for $96 shipped to your door and don't look back.

Thanks for the offer, Neil, but I don't need to replace the entire speaker, just the tweeter. And from what folks here are saying, I could replace the tweeter on both for half of what you want for a full speaker.

Now, if someone is willing to sell me a working SL2500 for $25 or less, then I'd be interested...
