Tweeter replacement recommendations

I am building an inexpensive system to place in my office. I have a Rotel rcd-971, probably getting an older (80s) Denon receiver(tuner needed), and a friend has a used pair of Paradigm Titans. It will only see low volume use.

The tweeter in one of the Titans has retired. I want to replace both tweeters. Modifying the enclosure some, is no problem.

I am thinking, since this is a place of business, the more relaxed sound of a fabric dome tweeter may be the best choice. I want to keep the cost and modifications to a minimum. The Titans have a 17mm metal dome tweeter crossed at 2.3khz, efficiency is 86db. I have browsed Partsexpress.com and found many tweeters. I like the cost and numbers for the Vifa TC 1" fabric dome, but the Morel 1 1/8" looks interesting as well.

Any ideas, pointers, or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info Eldulcesol. I placed the order with Partsexpress just before posting. They do have a full refund return policy. If the Morels dont cut it, I can always return them.

The tweeters in those speakers aer available from parts express. They are vifa, and are only about $19.00 each. If you need the exact number, let me know.

The Morels came in. They are a perfect fit it the existing cutout and sound teriffic. Smoother, more detail, without the harshness the original tweets exhibited (Paradigm Titan V2).

RGC, Partsexpress didnt have the exact replacement, they claimed only Paradigm markets the parts. Paradigm said the same thing. A single replacement tweeter from Paradigm was $55.00. The pair of Morels from Partsexpress was $70.00.

If you have Titans or similar Paradigms and want to replace/repair tweeters, the Morel MDTs work and sound great.
