Don't bother at all would be mine. There won't be any audible content beyond what the standard tweeter will deliver. All those 'high frequency spatial cues' people want to reproduce are way down at 5-10Khz anyway.
But if you want to try it these Bapture are rated by a lot of people and only cost a bullseye https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TakeT-BAT...QAAOSwv~1aLS85

I use Tannoy ST-100 super tweeters.
Work well here with Tannoy monitor golds.
I Had the Bapture ST here before and I couldn’t hear the difference.
With these ST-100 you can and can be adjusted to suit.
It’s subtle so don’t expect huge differences, (note the word difference as some will say they enhance and some will say pointless...!)

I have a pair of tandy radio shack in std guise you can hear measure them from about 5k they sounded aweful to me, changed the crossover cap so they work from about 15k. I can measure gain at the top end but sonds pretty much the same to me. Can never make up my mind if they are best in or out. Would i buy again, no
