Default Tweeter replacement for Kef 107

Hello,
Can you please suggest hi-quality tweeters to replace the T33s for the
kef 107s? I was thinking at the Scan-Speak D2905/9500. Could the
faceplate of these tweeters be swapped to fit different speakers? I
appreciate any inputs.
Thank you


Unless you are prepared to re-enineer your speakers, it is best to use
the same model, since the speaker system's xover was designed for the
T33, nothing else will work exactly the same. Things like the rolloff
of he tweeter and how it meshs with the driver handling the lower
frequency range will almost surely be different.

Xover design is like most things in speaker design, a compromise,
there is no drop in replacement other than the driver that the system
came with.

Unless you are willing to invest in the equipment neccessary to model
and measure the results of any driver changes, then it is best to
leave things as they were originally designed.
