Properly usedtweetersdon't really wear. OTOH the T33's use Ferrofluid,
which sometimes can harden and become problematic .


I don't know much about speaker's subcomponents and replacements.


**Then forget about replacing tweeters. Just use the OEM parts. You cannot
substitute *any* drivers in a system, without intimate knowledge of the
characteristics of the replacements, the crossover values and you need to
know EXACTLY what you are doing. However, you'll likely ignore this, because
you've been told this before.


Tweeters typically are sealed and not tuned w/ the cabinet. As long as the
frequency response of the replacement tweeter is adequate, the main problem is
matching levels. Get a replacement tweeter that has the same sensativity and
the replacement will work.
