I have an older pair of Fisher 3 Way Speakers. They are good speakers,
except on of the tweeters is blown and sounds horrid. Fisher is out of
business, so I cant buy an original replacement tweeter.

I am looking on speaker websites and ebay, trying to find a replacement.

I realize that I will need to replace the tweeter in BOTH speaker
cabinets so they match.

Obviously I need something that will fit the hole in the cabinet. I also
need to match the impedense (8 ohm), and get tweeters rated at the same
of higher power rating for these cabinets, (each cabinet is rated at
120W).

I have heard that the Pizeo tweeters are good, and can handle a lot of
power, plus they are fairly inexpensive.

Two out of three ain't bad. But piezo tweeters are.
They have a vast array of mechanical resonant modes
so you just can't get a flat response. Throw them in
the trash where they belong and buy modern Kevlar
domes or something, depending how much you care.
