It is Bose after all.
Hang on in there, Tony. This marathon still has a long way to run! 😀
The upper image in #134 is the original Bose tweeter in the right tower. The lower image in #134 is the new Bose tweeter I just installed into the left tower; the speaker that has been the primary concern because that is the one with the mismatched third-party 8-ohm tweeter.
I just finished replacing the old original Bose tweeter in the right tower with the new Bose tweeter. I have reattached the speakers to my receiver and am listening now.

As long as you have fitted both of the tweeters supplied by 6thplanet we definitely should be getting somewhere.
We are all anxiously awaiting your hopefully final response...

Edit to add:
Please check the diameter of the tweeter wires that also seems to me larger compared to those that reaches the binding posts on the rear panel of your loudspeakers.This is odd. I cut the wires about two inches away from the terminals and found that the grey wire had been spliced with the red and then shrinkwrapped. The black wire also has shrink wrap. Something tells me this is not a factory Bose connection.

They sound 100% better! I tested with a couple of indispensable discs.
Thank you to everyone, especially @6thplanet !

Very happy with that!
From now on think about perfecting the result!!! 😀

Those two wires I found connected to the right twoer's original Bose tweeter are somewhat thicker gauge, but only slightly.We are all anxiously awaiting your hopefully final response...

This is enough to create a difference that my "fanatical" accuracy would not be able to bear...Those two wires I found connected to the right twoer's original Bose tweeter are somewhat thicker gauge, but only slightly.
Seeing that I can only hear things in the 14khz-32khz range and only above 122db, it shouldn't matter to me. 😏This is enough to create a difference that my "fanatical" accuracy would not be able to bear...
One with a hand tool, the other by hand. Really not that difficult guys.
Anyway, glad I could help. Hope you get more years out of them, enjoy!!
Is the benefit of that method vs soldering simply speed?One with a hand tool, the other by hand. Really not that difficult guys.

It would appear that the problem was down to the fitting of a mismatching, third party tweeter in the left speaker, possibly aggravated by a failing tweeter in the right speaker.
However, it's been a fun ride and hopefully you'll experience no more "muddled highs". May you continue to add F.U.E.L. to your fire! 😉

Okay now you're possibly (and hopefully) kidding me, no problem at all.Seeing that I can only hear things in the 14khz-32khz range and only above 122db, it shouldn't matter to me.
However, please note that in some cases what someone like me needs is also a mental "certainty".
Which represents an "anomalous" factor compared to both what it really is expected and/or what is really in so-called reality. 🙂
Really nice, thanks for showing it!One with a hand tool, the other by hand. Really not that difficult guys.
But also please read just above.
In this case for me it is the long-term reliability that matters, in my opinion.
Good job, anyway. 😉
/sarcOkay now you're possibly (and hopefully) kidding me, no problem at all.
Really no need for your useless sarcasm since I was sincere in my comment, but no problem at all.
Much better this way, for you. 🙂

Not an issue for reliability. Bose has been doing it that way forever.Okay now you're possibly (and hopefully) kidding me, no problem at all.

And yes, definitely easy of assembly. No other cost of a crimp on connector, no extra connections, no added costs for soldering/soldering process.
I have a pneumatic tool that does it instantly.

Never too late to buy more tools! And it sure sounds useful. 😉

A pneumatic wire wrap tool will apply sufficient pressure to effectively cold weld the wire to the four sharp corners of the square post.
I can't see that wrapping just by using your bare hands could produce the same air excluding, anti-corrosion contact points.
