Well, you could go for the new Johnblue Audio "Crystal Horn" tweeters recently announced on 6Moons (use the link below and scroll down a bit). However, when I requested a price quote from the company, I was surprised when they came back with $2680/pair including shipping to the US.
I use the same open baffles and augment my "full-range" driver with the classic Jensen RP-302. It definitely doesn't goes as high as some other tweeters, but if you are over a certain age, you most likely won't hear those upper high-frequencies anyway. What you will hear is the smooth response from the phenolic diaphragm used in the Jensen. It just sounds better and more natural to me than any metal diaphragm tweeter.
