Looks like I'll have to find replacement tweeters for some M-Audio
monitors that I foolishly picked up without testing them properly.

The tweeter in question is a 4 ohm, 10Wmax driver from "Weltronics
Corp", for which I can't find specs anywhere.

Would it be wise to replace it with a, saw 30W RMS tweeter, or is this
likely going to be a less sensitive one? I don't know what the
sensitivity of the broken tweeter is. (And frankly this is the first
time I'm looking to mess with speakers.)

Commercial speaker systems don't typically use off-the-shelf commodity
speaker drivers. They tend to use custom (or semi-custom) OEM parts.
So I would be surprised if you could find the driver available from a 3rd
party source.

Replacing it with anything but the original driver will most likely make
significant changes to how the speakers sound, And will crater their
resale value as well.

So have you contacted M-Audio about buying OEM replacements?
