    The new tweeter will sound a bit different than the old one resulting in an unbalanced sound if you don't replace both.

    It would be better if you replaced both tweeters with the new RDO-198 replacements and not just one.

    Thanks guys. I will be honest I am not doing so well with money. Is it really important to replace both? Or is it hat solution the nth degree best to do. I need to be frugal. I have not called to know the numbers yet so maybe this is a non issue.

    Does anyone know the difference between the RTA 8TL's and the RTA 8T. I just looked on the back of the speakers and saw the tags were different on my pair but the speakers look the same.
