Changing Tweeter on Olympica 3

Would like to get some opinions and advice. I wont be changing it myself, but for a 7 year old pair of Sonus Faber Olympica III’s , I need to replace the tweeter on one of the speakers. Is it strongly recommended to do both speakers? Or will it be ok sound wise by changing one (since the costs involved to change both).

Why not just change one and see if they sound different?

If they don't, then it is up to you to decide if the cost of replacing the second one is worth it.

@tony1954 thanks, I may do that. Based on what they are telling me, I should not hear any difference. I will need to wait 3 months to get the part anyway.

Something to think about...Since you mentioned that you may sell this pair of speakers fairly soon...If you only swap one of the tweeters it may put off some potential buyers.  Unless you don't tell them....

Do yourself a favor and contact Bill at Millersound Speakers.  Many here have utilized his services and you will be amazed at what great repair work he does and how reasonable he is.  A great asset.  Do a search here for testamonials.

Thanks @jetter 

 

Good point @rick_n Definitely something to think about! I may keep these longer than expected in that case. I think either case, having a speaker "repaired" probably diminishes the value I imagine (sadly)
