Sonus Faber EA II

Hi Folks-

I have a pair of SF Electa Amator II that I bought new about 12 or 13 years ago.  I have read here and elsewhere that the original EA's (not the II's that I have) had a better Dynaudio Esotar tweeter than the (I think) ScanSpeak that came with mine.

Question:  can I easily replace my tweeters with the Esotar?  I'd like to experience the difference, if I am to believe lots of discussions around this topic. 

Anyone who's ever owned the EA's or EA II's know or have experience with the difference in these tweeters?

Reason I am interested is because while I love these speakers (size, looks, mid's, especially on female voices; and I matched these with a REL sub for the missing lows), I wish the highs didn't roll off as much.

Thanks for listening!

Roxy54,
I understand,  I have this same tweeter in my Coincident Total Eclipse II speakers and it's superb.  That's my point the  Revelator and Esotar are each capable of stellar sound quality in the right hands.

If you’re referring to the Scanspeak Revelator tweeter some feel it was better than the Esotar. There’s no consensus favoring either. Unquestionably it is  a matter of how each is implemented, matched with the other speaker drivers,crossover considerations and of course listener taste. Each of these highly regarded tweeters could each individually vary their sound in different brands/models of speakers.
