I hope you realize that Thiel's designs are time and phase coherent systems. Thiel goes to great effort to design cross-overs that compensate for any driver irregularities. My suggestion would be to leave well enough alone and consider other options. Perhaps different amplification.

Wow...that's ambitious, Unsound makes a very valid point...

I agree with Pops and Unsound don't mess with a great thing.

Why mess with it, you may get worse sound and if not careful hurt resale value.

Same goes with me, I agree with them completely. If you like you could try some felt if you like around the tweeters and if you don't like the change just remove. But to try another tweeter in place of the Thiels? Better to just purchase another speaker if your not happy with the top end.
