- If you intend to replace *any* speaker in a speaker system you run the
- risk of putting in something that doesn't match the system.
-
- Crossover changes may be needed, the dispersion characteristice
- should be considered, etc, etc........
-
- All in all if premium performance is _not_ of a concern replace the
- tweeters and listen to it.
-
- If premium performance _is_ desired, replace the tweeters after you
- have determined that it is a "replacement" and exhibits the same input
- impedance characteristics as does the original, etc (and the etc part
- is a lot of information).
