Well I had my eye on a EA comp set, and if that didn't go my way I was gonna buy Justins that he had for sell. But instead I got these, I mean really who could pass these up for that price??? So anyway I need help on picking out a tweet to match with these. Since I'm not into that part of audio yet, I need your guys help with this one.

The best thing about Rainbow comps are the tweeters :) (not that the midbasses are shabby by any means).
If you can find a Cal 25 tweeter somewhere or another that'd be great, but out of those two I'd take the McIntosh. If you want something better, I'd get something like Vifa D26NC55 tweets off of Madisound. Reasonably small and they sound fantastic.

They have a grill/faceplate for those tweets available if I remember correctly.

The best out of that pair are the McIntosh soft domes. The TN47 is a very, and I mean VERY shrill sounding tweeter. If out of those, get the McIntosh's..but be prepared for a mounting difficulty with that large baffle.

Im not much of a fan of anything besides JVC anymore
But for $17.53 it seems like a decent buy. I trust PE also, so that reccomendation is based off product specs and their description.
Probably could wire it right in and use the rainbow crossovers...
