Hi Everyone,
I am currently using these speakers as LCRs:
https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews...-systems-reviews/a-secrets-speaker-review103/
I love the way their finish looks and the build quality is just fantastic. I mostly love the way they sound but a lot of the times I want more energy/details at the upper frequencies. They are great sounding but some music I listen to they sound too warm/lush with the current tweeter. I also measured the impedance of the tweeters currently and it is showing 7.5ohms on my multimeter so ~8ohms rating.
Can you guys please suggest a tweeter that can possibly serve me better than the stock ones to fit my needs? I really really don't want to sell these and buy another speaker as I love their build quality. Also each cabinets I've upgraded with more no-rez dampening materials etc. I don't really have a price range but best bang-for-your-buck is always appreciated. Thanks!
I also want to add that I am able to tweak the crossover if needed, like soldering/replacing the components on there but I might need help figuring out what to replace/tweak.

Can you trace the way the crossover is wired, and attach a drawing for us.
With a drawing people can suggest a resistor change that should allow a little more treble.
I can see 4.7 and 10uf caps but I cannot read the resistor values. People need to know the resistor positions in circuit to understand which one is the most sensible to adjust.
To swap the tweeter which probably wont be needed, we would need to know its overall diameter 100mm or 104mm for example, and ideally would need the some stand alone measurement's for frequency and impedance, which would allow a comparison of sorts against other tweeters.

Get in touch with Danny Ritchie at gr-research. He designed some(if not all) of the AV123 speakers.
I'll shoot Danny a message thank you.
Here is the best drawing I can do because I have no idea if I am tracing it correctly or not haha
