Ah, didn't see this. Anyways, I summed it up in the prior response. Seriously, no hard feelings. Just a little misread. The internet shows no inflection.

You kind of reiterated my point. I just wanted to replace the parts and gather rudimentary knowledge about said parts. I did not claim to be or wish to be any sort of audiophile or to have or want...

I love it when comments start with "No offense, but...". These are not $100k speakers, I don't need to really become obsessed with this. It's not a hobby, I like good sounding music. I was being...

@Toolfan66: (Irrelevant comment) I am in the throws of a tool phase right now. It makes decent test music, I guess. I just know that I love them. Lateralus for the win. Was great live.

Ah, crossovers. I am not sure why they would age (negative connotation) more than the moving parts of the drivers. However, given that there seems to be an ever so subtle crackling int the upper mid...

Guys, I know I'm being highly inquisitive, but words are free. Would the 198s blend with the monitor 10 woofers? Hell, I wouldn't mind putting some of those SDA woofers in the cabinet with the 198s,...

Ope, I forgot to edit my language. If anything goes wrong with these, I will get the RDO 194s. I hope they stay availabe for quite some time. And yeah there is an odd hissyness about these tweeters....

Some people go ape**** over the peerless. I'm curious if it is so much the bee's knees that people proclaim...

The vr3 literature is excellent. Thanks for that as well. I wish there was something like that for the Monitor series.

I don't doubt them, I'm just curious about the tech involved. I have seen much positive response to the SDAs. I am just not someone who is in a position, financially, to ever hear them (college...

I've been preoccupied with other things so didn't research much, but it appears the SDA alters the signal for the outside cones. In what way I don't know, but I don't think I would like that. I...

They really are good cones. And the one that maxes out takes a lot of low end punch to get it to do so. I just recently got a 7.1 amp with a crossover, so I just cut it below 100Hz. I'm sure they'll...

I have posted too hastily. Off to look up more about this SD effect....

Oh my, are they powered? I didn't know that. Maybe I'm wrong I just looked at images.

I'd make the space. However, I did not know there was a specific "SDA cable". I am not a huge polk fanboy or anything, I just really dig some of their products. Gonna Google that cable. And I just...

Basically, I don't want one out of 4 total drivers between the two speakers to be different than the other 3. The blend between the tweets and woofers is epic on these things. No highly resonant...

I was applying a sort of brevity. What I am saying, and asking, is that these prized, rare speakers can be constructed from readily available parts. These parts do not bear the same name as the...

Gawd I wish I had bought this instead of the CS 20 I got for a center. No way that CS 20 is gonna match timbre.
I cannot believe I am going to miss out on this. </3
...

What I don't get is if these are so special--and they do sound very good--why can they be built with a ton of spare parts? Is it just the box that's hard to acquire, or is there that much difference...

I would presume so from what I've read. They have the SL2000 (horizontal, not angled wiring on the outside fascia; clear dome with pinhole) and the passive radiator is black coating with grey...

If these SL 2000s go out in my Monitor 10s, what should I replace them with? moreover, is there an accessible replacement for the wonderful mid/woofer cones that are in them now. One of them makes an...

Thanks. And I wish I had, even though I can't seem to find any. I can tell older cones might match better. The rigidity of newer textiles may be a little too good. I'm sure Aramid fibers and Kevlar...

Wondering what center option would be best to go with some Monitor 10s with the clear tweeter (SL 2000). Looking at CS 20, Csi 30 or 40, or A4.
