I agree with Michael. I am a fan of the HPM series. They are well worth the effort to get playing.
I would suspect any of the tweeter models listed would be OK.
I have a spare pair of tweeters (not the HPM supertweeters) for my HPM-900.
About the HPM-100. Awk!! CRS, I've forgot his name, but the JBL designer of the L100 was hired by Pioneer and designed the HPM-100 as a "super L100". I agree with that. I love my L100 Century's, but the HPM-900 (a better balanced and more refined HPM-100) are just that much better overall.

was the gentleman's name.
I've got a pair that I'll never use.
Please email me about your HPM woofers!
Thanks.
I have a pair of HPM-100's that I am currently restoring. Have some spare parts and tweeters. Those tweeters were the same electrically, but slight appearance differences. I am upgrading mine with HPM-900 tweeters.
The supertweeters don't add much.The HPM-100 is what I call the 'macho speaker' - not for wimps. They were heavily advertised in Playboy magazine in the 70's and you can see why.
Supposed to be BIG and sexy. Surprisingly subtle, but colored sound.Quien es mas Macho?
