I would also check to see if the tweeter in question is repairable or still available. Buying a speaker only to put a "close enough" tweeter may or may not be good enough. In addition to different response, tweeters typically have different resonant frequencies, impedance bump magnitude and "shape", and impedance rise. Any impedance correction networks or equalization networks will not work properly with a different unit, even if the nominal impedance is the same.
"Fits in the hole" is not good.
Something to keep in mind...
Cheers,
Presto

Thanks.

My understanding is you can't just "drop in" a replacement tweeter for the Spica speakers. So even if I were able to get a matching item number replacement, it won't be the same as the ones in the speakers now.
So what I'll end up with is something very similar to a Spica, but not really.
Please, someone correct me if I'm mistaken.
Thanks.

Funny that searching "Spica" @ Madisound turns up zip (found it on a WWW search).
I did give them a call. It turns out I just might be able to get my old tweeter fixed, without actually replacing it.
Potentially great news.
Thanks for going through the trouble of looking the information up for me.
Cheers.

perhaps I'm recalling outdated info.
Worth checking out as the tweeters were well received in online user's reviews a number of years ago.
I was off-line/away from home, off and on for quite some time, until mid july 2011 and I think I read this (the "back in stock" thing) after I got back.
Reviews were that they were as good, or better as far as I recall with zero crossover changes.
This was for the 50, so if you have the 60 or the Angeles (sp?) I'm not certain if it will work.
Very fragile Audax with no replacement diaphragms available.
