Believe it or not, a Bose 201 series III speaker make for a very good sounding speaker when the tweeter & coupling capacitor is upgraded. The 6.5" speaker has no bass/mid crossover and gently slopes off the high frequency response.
The poor stock tweeter was replaced with vintage Audax TMO25Fs and an Obbligato 6uF paper/oil capacitor replaced the poor electrolytic capacitor.I paid $40 + $20 shipping for speakers and $25 for tweeters. $16 for pair of capacitors.
All for $100, it makes a good sounding pair of 'starter' speakers.
Vintage Audax TMO25F are rare on eBay. Most new cheap 8 ohm tweeters with an FS of 2K sounds poor including the many offerings from Parts Express up to $50 each. For a few more dollars from what I paid, a pair of quality Audax TW025AO tweeters are available at Madisound for $30 each.

It's $57 but perhaps the best tweeter I've ever used or had - REGARDLESS of the price!!!!
The Seas 27TDFC - that is one sweet sounding tweeter with a wide range and touch as nails to boot.
This is my favorite $50 tweeter.... Does not dissapoint!
Works good with 6-1/2 and 8" woofers in 2 way systems. 1.5 to 2.5K crossover points

Been using them for years too.
If affordable to an audiophile, I agree the Seas is a great tweeter.
