I own a pair of Focal Profile 918 speakers.
I had a problem of oxidation in both the tweeters, so they are not working properly anymnore, even after a repair attempt to make them work.
That said, I'm planning making an upgrade on my speakers, including some mods on the crossover. A friend of mine is going to do this work, since I don't have the required knowledge and skills to do so.
Because of the problems on the tweeters I plan to replace them. And given that Focal tweeters are quite expensive, added to the fear of the oxidation problem happening again, I would really prefer to buy new tweeters from another manufacturer.
So that's the reason of this post: which aftermarket tweeters would you suggest to replace the ones in my Focal Profile 918 speakers?
Thanks.
P.S. - By the way, I'm aware that the tweeter compartment on my Focal Profile speaker is quite reduced to accomodate a bigger one, so I have the idea of making some extension on the top of the cabinet to accomodate the new tweeter. Maybe something like this 👇

Having moved from a passive system to active I would humbly suggest going active. If you really want to improve sound quality active speakers can be a revelation. Look at sbacoustics.com for possible passive solutions.

I just googled the 918 by Focal. They appear to be very nice speakers. Perhaps my suggestion was short sighted. Apologies

Not sure you need to do this ugly thing you call extension in front of your baffle... You have small form factor tweeter like this:
