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).

you dont have to but I would, like anything the existing one is worn and will sound slightly different than a new one

I agree with ckr1969, drivers should be replaced in pairs so they wear-in together.

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...

I wouldn’t worry about it. They aren’t very old. After a few days break in everything should be just fine.

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.
