Greetings. I have a pair of Thiel CS 1.2 speakers with the original tweeters (SEAs from Norway). 6 ohms, crossed at 2,500, plate a bit over 4 inches diameter. I have searched and the Seas Prestige 27bfc/g tweeter was recommended in one thread as one that is pretty close. However, I have found that the Peerless by Tymphany D27TG35-06 1" Silk Dome Tweeter will also fit well and has what looks like a slightly better response curve, both from 3-5,000 and above 15,000. Can any of you share your experience with either of these tweeters and let me know which you would recommend? Since I am looking for a speaker for more background music and not critical listening, I am inclined to go with the Peerless as it is half the price. I also prefer the sound of a silk dome vs metal dome tweeter in general. Thank you for your help.
Try calling up Madisound and asking what has been their experience for a replacement.

Thank you Andersonix. I called the service person for Thiel and Madisound. For an old speaker for background music, the Peerless I listed above probably would not be a bad choice. The latest version of the Seas tweeter in textile dome is the H1189 and the metal dome is H1212, and if the speakers were new and they were my main speakers, then one of those would probably be the best choice. Despite the fact that Thiel designed the cross over for the specific Seas metal dome tweeter at the time, it seems the newer version would probably work just fine as the newer versions have very similar response and impedance curves. If any of you have had a different experience, please let me know.
