An Endless Journey.


I've been pursuing, listening, looking, toying, buying, selling 2 speakers stereo system since I was 11-12yrs old as my hobby. It's an endless journey with a lot lot enjoyments. Bottomless money-pit as well, I would said.
Then when I was 34, tired, broke and still no satisfaction, no end on the sight, I bought a Rega Planar 3, a Rotel RCD-855, a Naim Nait 1, a Rega Ela and I called it quit.
So happy I am for the next 30yrs, so much I enjoy the Music, the Instruments, the Soundstage, Clarity and whatever comes out from the system.
Now the Rega Ela lost their Tweeters. 
Should I spend $2-300 and find the Replacement  or just get rid of them?
Note: I still enjoy and love the sound of Rega Ela very much.

Since the tweeters are still functioning it is possible that the problem is crossover related. The capacitors in the crossover may be drying out while the tweeters might actually be OK.
If a capacitor is failing it is probably an electrolytic type. You would need to replace it with the closest possible equivalent available today. It shouldn't be that difficult to find a replacement.
