Replacement tweeter recomendations? Thiel CS3.5

[barfod]

Hi folks. I have a pair of Thiel CS3.5 with one blown tweeter. A friend and I were rocking out, and playing guitar along with the tunes. Well, the volume got higher and higher until finally we heard a strange squeaky sound from the right speaker. Upon closer inspection, we narrowed the sound down to the tweeter. It still plays "well" at low volume, but push the volume even a little and the squeak returns.
The old tweeter is a D28A. Can anyone make a good recommendation of a suitable replacement for that tweeter as they don't appear to available any longer. I think the original tweeter manufacturer is Dynaudio.
But to reiterate, can anyone recommend a suitable replacement tweeter for the blown one. I have always loved the Thiels and would like them to go another 25 or so years.

You can buy replacement tweeters direct from Thiel. They will set you back around $300.

Got it!
It was $250 plus $10 shipping.
And it was, in fact, an original Dynaudio D28AF!

Thank you for the advise. Lana at Thiel made it easy. I can finally begin to enjoy my Thiels again! Now all I need is is some amplification that is up to the task of making them shine. The Yamaha RX-V663 powering them now is adequate for the moment.

Good to hear you were able to get a replacement. I need to get me a more powerful amp for my speakers as well.

The specs on those are very different than the Dynaudios. I can't imagine they'd be a good replacement, but who knows.
FYI, ebay links are only allowed in the Dollars and Sense forum

You could always take a pair of the tweeters in my avatar, some glue, and a pair of fake alien antennae from a costume shop, and just stick them on top of the CS3's like they have eyes. The boingy, bouncy tweeter-suspension might aid in dispersion.
