Changing Tweeter on Olympica 3


Would like to get some opinions and advice. I wont be changing it myself, but for a 7 year old pair of Sonus Faber Olympica III’s , I need to replace the tweeter on one of the speakers. Is it strongly recommended to do both speakers? Or will it be ok sound wise by changing one (since the costs involved to change both).

crap, I was a bit afraid of this. How different do you think it will be? I just ask because at some point I would like to potentially get the Nova III. Dont know when, could be in 1-2 years though...

Interesting, I have to admit, I am the 3rd owner, so I dont know how much actual use they have gotten in the past. I can say , physically, they are extremely mint and look almost brand new.

@knotscott  that could be a good idea selling the older/working one. Not sure how much I could get for it and could take a while to sell.

Fine Sounds insists that both dont need to be changed. As long as a 200 hour break in is done on the new / changed one, it should be fine.

@tony1954 thanks, I may do that. Based on what they are telling me, I should not hear any difference. I will need to wait 3 months to get the part anyway. 

Thanks @jetter 

 

Good point @rick_n Definitely something to think about! I may keep these longer than expected in that case. I think either case, having a speaker "repaired" probably diminishes the value I imagine (sadly)
