I mentioned before that one of a pair of the old model has a broken connector. Searching here I see you say the new one is essentially the same but PE shows a big difference in sensitivity: 93.5 old; 96.5 new.
I'd like to get just one but not if it won't match by 3dB!
If it doesn't matter, can you sell just one of the new, or should I get it from PE. Otherwise, I'll get a pair from you, if that's OK.

Honestly, the new tweeter is real, real close to the old tweeter. They made a good copy. The measurements I get from both are so close you get as much difference moving the microphone around.
There are a couple peaks that might get up to 95dB, but average sensitivity is lower than that, between 93dB and 94dB. It's about a decibel higher between 1kHz and 5kHz than it is between 5kHz and 10kHz too. A gradual downward trend up into the top octave.
As for whether or not I'd put an old tweeter on one side and a new tweeter on the other, I think I probably wouldn't. I suppose that's kind of a perfectionist thing, 'cause they really are close. But still, they just don't cost much money so I'd probably swap 'em both.
