EPI Inverted Dome in KLH 33s

Hey all

I got my hands on some KLH 33s, got them all set up to find out i have one tweeter out. After alot of reading on this forum I see many people saying that these speakers are a great candidate for EPI Inverted Dome tweeters. I read that the EPIs are "literally a drop in" install for KLH 33s. However, after some online searching, the inverted domes seem to be a totally different shape to me. The stock tweeters have a square bracket, while the EPIs are round.

So...my questions...

1. From people who have heard one setup or the other...should I buy a set of EPI inverted domes for sound quality or should I buy a replacement KLH tweeter for cool vintageness?

2. Are there more than one model of EPI inverted dome tweeters? If so, which do I need?

3. Are these speakers really just a drop in, or am i going to need to drill some holes, drive some screws, etc?

Thanks for any help on this subject...I joyfully await the string of hyperlinks which will soon appear telling me that this topic has been discussed 10 times already.

Most of the EPI tweeters are round and 5" in diameter. Some of the later models (A and T/E) were 4 3/8" in diameter. They had a red or blue ring around the dome. Not sure what the diameter of the KLH tweeters were.
 
I put some older masonite EPI tweets in some KLH 17's and really liked that combo. Those tweeters are great units and work well as replacements for all sorts of things. I hoard them :D

I concur. They are great and blend well with many speakers.

Someone mentioned the T/E tweeters. I wouldn't bother with those even if they fit physically. They're just not up to the same standard as the EPI/EPICURE/GENESIS __inverted__ domes.
