I am looking for a replacement for the J-series tweeter from the Jamo company from the 1980s. Does anyone know a speaker with a similar sound, I really like its sound in electronic music. What type of dome is there? Silk or something else?
Is the dome from Heco Psm 1000? Could it be similar? Their speakers in those years were quite similar.

I'm giving your thread a little bump!
Yours look like Jamo D-025-1 tweeters. Is that correct?
The Heco PSM 1000 tweeters look similar in design:

Damn, I just picked up 4 of these tweeters, but mailing them to you would almost certainly not be worth doing.
You could perhaps choose a tweeter from the Monacor range that matches the original in terms of impedance, faceplate size and enclosure cut-out diameter.

Unfortunately I don't know what your tweeters sound like. However, a dome tweeter from the Monacor range is likely to have similar characteristics - that's the best I can say.
The tweeters in the Monacor range occupy different price levels, so hopefully there is at least one that matches your cost criterion as well as the other parameters I mentioned above.
EDIT: You are fortunate in that you have a level control for the tweeter which should be able to compensate for a replacement tweeter that has a different sensitivity to the original.

Do you know if the dome in these Jamo's is silk or Alu or other? It would make the search easier.
Can you depress/deform the dome (of the faulty tweeter) easily with finger pressure?
If so, it is likely to be coated fabric or soft plastic. If not, it may be metal.

You don't actually say why you require a a replacement tweeter.
I assume the tweeter is producing no sound, and hope you have determined that the fault actually lies with the tweeter itself, and not with its associated wiring or its crossover components.
If you haven't already done so, swap the tweeters between the two enclosures to see whether or not the fault follows the suspect tweeter.
