   Since this is an *active* speaker it means that the exact parameters of   
   the tweeter have less influence on things like crossover performance,   
   etc.  OTOH, you probably won't find the magic "OptImage dispersion-   
   controlled waveguide" though.  IMHO, the physical size and the low-   
   end response (at least down to the crossover frequency) would be the   
   prime considerations.   
      
   You should research 3rd party sources of OEM drivers and eBay, etc.
