Get to & replace tweeter ohm frs-15
You can contact Ohm via their website. They provide service support parts and upgrades for all speakers they’ve ever sold. I’m sure they would help you work through your problem anyway possible.  Note that I believe they are currently mostly shut ... 
What have I missed in the last 12 years?
Digital streaming technology has come a long way.Amps come in smaller packages and deliver more clean power and current for less.That's mostly it. 
Is there any advantage to lower efficiency speakers? 87 or below?
For a lower wattage tube amp you want both more efficient and easy load speakers for best results. For comparable bass extension those would need to be larger and probably more expensive as a result. Very fundamental for top notch results  to matc... 
Is there any advantage to lower efficiency speakers? 87 or below?
In general the main reason to design a less efficient speaker is to enable more extended bass out of a smaller speaker. This has been the popular trend for the most part ever since higher power SS amps started to make their mark.

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I have Triangle Titus monitors I use in my second system in addition to various OHMs. These are most "detailed" in teh higher frequencies in particular. They have limited bass response below 55hz or so and do their thing best only with certain hig... 
the most underrated 33 1/3 in history?
Comverting "Black and Blue" vinyl to digital.    Underrated Stones album.  
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Tweeters are angled 45 degree in with normal Ohm Walsh floorstanders and do not provide direct exposure with most listening locations by design.  Orienting to have the tweets more directly face  the listening position is not necessary imho but doe...
