Sonnie, my apologies in advance

My point is the Seas is probably already an improvement on what you have now. You can tweak any decent tweeter to make the FR what you desire.

Based on what exactly? Have you head the VR3s? And FR is only part of the story.

Just as you ridicule those that believe the top-end needs to be flat, you believe it shouldn't be

I don't recall ridiculing anybody who likes a flat top end, rolled off top end, or any top end. I even advised Sonnie that the Bostons may not be to his liking since he seems to prefer a rolled off top end. To each his own. What I take issue with is your seeming cavalier dismissal of speakers without a flat top end, especially if you haven't even heard them. There's a lot more to sound quality than the FR of a speaker. Subwoofers is a different matter, with them it is very easy to nail down quality based on a few parametes - there are a ton more variables with speakers. If one jumps in and builds their own speakers without auditioning more expensive ones first though, I can see how it would be convenient to react in that manner.
