At their best, ribbon tweeters can supply amazing, effortless, shimmering highs. I'm definitely a fan. However, ribbons' native impedance is usually so low that they need especially careful integration into the rest of a speaker system. Often a conversion transformer is required, and the crossover(s) also require intensive analysis.
What this means is that it's next-to-impossible simply to switch out a dome tweeter for a ribbon in an existing speaker. You're much better off selling those speakers and purchasing some which have a ribbon already integrated into their configuration.
