Spendor tweeters?
 
Tidying loft, came across a pair of Spendor Preludes.
Unfortunately, one is lacking a tweeter.

Now am I going to be able to source replacement tweeters, and is it worth it
compared to speakers in current use - TDL Near Field Monitors?

many thanks for any advice

(It's going to be "no" and "no" explains why they were in the loft!).

lol

All Spendors were pretty good, and would be worth restoring. The best source
of Spendor parts is Spendor themselves, even if they can no longer supply
the part, they should be able to tell you what's the closest, and whether
you would need to change both tweeters to match.

Many Spendor speakers used the Celestion HF1300 as the tweeter, with
three-way models using the Coles 4001 at the top end.

I don't think the HF1300 has been made for some time but there should be
secondhand units or a suitable alternative available for the sake of a
bit of digging.

As someone else has said, first try Spendor themselves. For 'bits' try
Wilmslow Audio who are based at Hinckley.
