I have to replace my tweeter on the Magico S5. I could use some advice from anyone who has done it.
Thank you

Mike, and others thank you for your input.  After Mike's post I feel better about the soldering.  I think I will stick with the Magico tweeter, no offense to those who suggest otherwise.  I got the S5s used for about $18,000 from Scott Walker in CA including the shipment to Alaska.   New they were $28,000-$32,000, so I'm told.   I expect any after market tweeter installed in one speaker may cause a conflict sonically with the other speaker etc.  Thank you  to all.

I am expecting the whole tweeter is being purchased, it is $800.00.  The Tech I spoke to said soldering is required and they would include some solder with the tweeter.  Thanks for your interest . 
The rubber like material ring around the dome is ripped.  I don't know how it happened, I have a cat but not sure she is the culprit.  I called Magico they said it should be replaced.  I was nervous about the soldering involved.  Thanks for your response.
Funny thing, I was expecting it would cost more.  How screwed up is that.   Thank you for the info
Thank you Erik for the info.. Anyone out there who can confirm that the Magico S5 tweeter is the Scanspeak Illuminator D3004/6640-00.  The fastner holes seem identical but the Scanspeak has a grill over the dome.  
Eric, asked Magico if they could repair the tweeter since it is only the support material that suspends the dome.  They answered in the negative.  Maybe when I swap them out I can sell the damaged one on Ebay or give to the cat and let her have at it.  Thanks for you input.
