Stand alone tweeter?

Dear all,
I think my speaker’s HF sounds too harsh, I have tried all possible acoustics treatment that I can afford and repositioning it, however it still sounds harsh.

I am not good in DIYing, and the dealer said that the tweeter is ok, and for now my budget doesn’t allow me to buy new speakers.

I understand that there are stand alone super tweeter, but is there any stand alone tweeter?

What is considered best to produce smooth HF?

Thanks alot in advance for any advice

I can't comment on your tweeter situation but it occurs to me you have some very high end equipment tethered to a good but relatively speaking budget speaker. I am not saying it's the cause of your HF issue but it looks like a bit of a mismatch overall. Did you just buy some or all of that gear and were the Forest's  speakers from a previous system?

 if your tweeter is too sharp your crossover maybe is not to good , to save money and not break the bank Foste X great Capacitor from Japan but limited in sizes, 
Madisound carries them.
A Audyn Copper , or  clarity CSA, Obbiggato Gold   try the capacitors first 
And resistors buy a mills resistor 12watt just find out the specs 250v is more then enough voltage.start there  that is where more then 1/2 problems arrive from 
In Loudspeakers.

Ghosthouse:

I WAS referring to TP/Kleenex, but just a single layer small/coin sized piece to start.

Metal dome tweeters are excessively "bright" sounding! Replace yours with a pair of SEAS silk-dome tweeters. These are used in my Snell A's, E's and J's - with excellent results!
