Help Cremona Auditor & Revelator 9700000 tweeter.

Hi, any of you out there have any DIY experience with Scan Speak tweeters? I'm talking about the one that is Found in the $40,000 Sonus Faber Stradivari's (factory SSP Revelator 9700000 drivers are $500 each at discount retailers). My Cremona Auditor (bought 1 week ago) tweeter was damaged when speaker was knocked over and hit coffee table( yes, i said about a thousand F-words). And Given my situation i cannot have it fixed under warranty--especially being second hand buyer. So, the latest Revelator Ring Tweeter...does anyone know if it would be possible to put in two new ones while i'm repairing one anyway? Sumiko, and Scan Speak have not been heard from...i'm sure there are minor phase and impedance mismatches( i have complete technical data for them), but anyone with experience on how to do these kinds of retrofits??? any suggestions would be great...and please, no bashing my ignorance as i'm relatively new to hi fi world.

thanks,,

The Sonus Faber tweeter has a modified face plate, note the truncated cutout, that allows it to be closer to the midbass driver. Sonus Faber may only use the standard Vifa ring radiator tweeter but the cutout and gold phase plug will be difficult to copy. However, there is a chance that the tweeter is highly modified for SF. I suggest contacting Sonus Faber directly (as Ellery911 suggested) or contacting a dealer (as stefan@talentconnecion.co.za). Those two should be able to assist and be very helpful.
