Marantz HD-400 tweeter replacement

Yesterday I bought a set of Marantz HD-400 speakers which go nice with my HD-55 set. But the cone of one tweeter is completely destroyed. Now I want to buy 2 replacement tweeters since a want both speakers to sound exactly the same.

Specifications of the HD-400.

I have seen this tweeter on the internet:

The original tweeters have paper cones, so I prefer paper cones. I've spend lots of time on the internet today and the nearest thing I could find was the above tweeter.
Has anyone any experience with these tweeters? Or has anyone a better suggestion?

the HD-X00's are totally different than their HD-XX0 counterparts. a Pair of HD-550's would look better with 55's than those 400's would, plus your 55's should have a LPF dome tweeter, therefore the 550's will match better visually and sound-wise as it also has a LPF dome tweeter. The HD-X00's were European it seems. How do those 400's sound?

Yes that maybe true but I got these HD-400's at a market for 12 euro's so I couldn't leave them. I am only 23 and have a very small budget so I always get my speakers etc at markets because they are cheap and with a little help they can sound good again. My HD-55's just cost 10 euro's each.

But the HD-400's sound nice but like you said the sound color is noticable different than the HD-55's. But would it be better to use the silkdome tweeters that michiganpat posted than the paperconed tweeters for matching with my HD-55's?
