I am sure there may be a discussion out there already on this subject but it has kinda lost me since I have a pair of Monitor 10B's with SL-1000 tweeter's and the fused speaker cable post furniture...I am trying to figure out the correct replacement tweeters? 4 or 8 ohm is the question? I am sure the ohm ratings on the speakers would guide this, but I wonder how you would tell from the component makeup of the model, especially if there is guidance in that direction?...eventually I will be upgrading the crossovers in the future as well...

I've been looking at the MT-4115-8 High End 1" Silk Dome Tweeter from Midwest Audio on ebay...as a potential replacement...

Your guidance will be appreciated...

    It says right on their site which one is the acceptable replacement.
