Adding tweeter to 8" full range?

I could use some advice with a project I'm tinkering with. I have some 8" FR AlNiCo speakers mounted in wall cabinets with aperiodic loading. While nice and smooth in the midrange they lack the sparkle of the small Fostex drivers I have been listening to for a long time. I am looking at adding a tweeter with a series capacitor as crossover at 10k to 15khz. Should I be looking at tweeters with roughly the same efficiency as the FR? I am assuming I'l need some kind of pad as hitting just the rightl level match is unlikely without. Thanks in advance for any help offered.
