I don't know the Morel.
The Seas is a nice tweeter. It's quite expensive, though. You should also consider the Peerless HDS and Seas 27 series. They are better performers than the Excel, at a lower price.

Hi:

I do not know about the original system where you want to replace the original tweeter. I think you must regard the following concern:

Speaker units are more difficult to replace than transistors. In high end audio, the used units are matched to their filters to get the right accoustic response. Not only in the sensitivity but also in the transfer function.

When the original one is damaged, as I understand is happening in your case, the best is to get an exact replacement, I mean another original spare part. If not, you could get a very different response with another one that resembles to the original.

Regards,

Hugo

I get an opinion from Tony Gee (humble homemade), he suggest an 27TDFC.Wonder if its better than the Excel.The price is low, wich makes me think.The SS 25W is great quality, so if the 27TDFC would be a good match........Dont know about the G18 much, but looks good too.
