Answer
They are nice speakers.  And, if you like them, what else is there to say?

If the tweeters are blown there are a few alternatives.

ONE:  Since they are out of production it may be difficult to find replacement parts, but try them at this address.  There may be manuals and parts still available or they may recommend a substitute tweeter.

TWO:  Find a pair on eBay, verify the speakers work and use them for parts.

THREE:  Some speaker repair shops may be able to recoil yours and get them working again.  Probably the voice coils are gone; sometimes just the wires break and they can be resoldered.

FOUR:  You may be able to find some generic tweeters that will work even though some modifications would be necessary.

Hope this will get you on your way.
