I hadn't thought about the super tweeter idea. Although the thing I miss most is the sound stage and not necessarily the super high end. Are there commercially available products or is it a DIY endeavor?
You are right about the base. I have a sub and use it. They other day I turned it off to incorporate a tuner and forgot to turn it back on. I listened to the tuner for a few days before going back to my records which I am more familiar with. When I did spin something I was familiar with I barely noticed the base was a little light. I figured I needed to turn the sub volume up a little. I was totally surprised when I saw that it wasn't even on!

Not sure if there is anything currently available commercially today. You may want to look on the sale sites for Microacoustic they likely pop up and not a lot of money.
A DIY set should not be too difficult depending on how deep you want to get into it. As little as a tweeter, cap and either an Lpad or linear pot. The cap controls the frequency response to cross into the tweeter and the pad/pot the energy level. The Lpad presents a constant impedance load so, preferred. From there you can get into more complex crossover's. Years ago companies like Radio Shack offered tweeter kits comprised of the tweeter and cap. Not sure if some place like Parts Express has something similar. The DIY group may be of help or some in the speaker group.

Madisound has a few ribbon tweeters that would work nicely.
