Default Pioneer 720 PRS components/ tweeter replacement

Is it possible to drop in a new tweeter for the component set, using the existing passive crossover? Its crossed at 2K and a 12 db slope, and an 88 efficiency. 4 ohm I believe.
The tweeter seems a bit clinical and I am looking for something detailed, airy open, warm and musical. I think that covers it!!!
And hello!
Since I am new here!!!!
Thanks.
Mike

I believe the tweets and mids on the c720prs set are different impedances. Tweet being 6 ohm and mids being 4? So the passives may not work well with other tweeters...

OK. So I would need new passives depending on the tweeters I picked? Any suggestions on combos? Or would it be better to take apart the existing passives? idk..
Thanks.
