Stand alone tweeter?

Dear all,
I think my speaker’s HF sounds too harsh, I have tried all possible acoustics treatment that I can afford and repositioning it, however it still sounds harsh.

I am not good in DIYing, and the dealer said that the tweeter is ok, and for now my budget doesn’t allow me to buy new speakers.

I understand that there are stand alone super tweeter, but is there any stand alone tweeter?

What is considered best to produce smooth HF?

Thanks alot in advance for any advice

Unfortunately adding a super tweeter will not smooth out the tweeter that you currently have, it will only extend the top end and could actually add to the frequencies that bother you... 
I'm sorry if you said, but I didn't see it.  What speakers are you using?  Are they as ghosthouse posted indeed Totem Forest?  I

I'll take a look and see if I can offer some practical advise,

I have looked at the Forest in the Past.  I like the drivers that they have chosen and actually use the midbass myself in a few speakers.  
1 easy change to the crossover is to replace the tweeter cap.  The Forest are well thought out, but I'm sure that cost was kept inline.  
So, replace the single series tweeter cap with a cap that leans dark or rich harmonics that is still very detailed.... The Jupiter Condenser Beeswax  comes to mind... I'm sure that there are others, but this would be audible....
