Paradigm 9se MKII Speakers blown tweeter

I just bought a pair of Paradigm 9se MKII Speakers and one of them appears to have a blown tweeter. I can't seem to find the specs anywhere to buy the correct replacement. I'm wondering if anyone can help me with what. I believe the speakers are rated at 4 ohms nominal. Does that mean the tweeter would also have to be 4 ohms (if you can't tell, this my first time unscrewing anything on a speaker)? I also expect that I'd have to make sure the tweeters specified crossover frequency is at least as low as the speakers crossover. Any other things I should be looking out for when buying a replacement (other than size and shape)?
It being Sunday, parts-express and Paradigm offices are closed, and I'm too excited to wait until tomorrow! I'm hoping this is the right forum for this question. Thanks in advance.

Good morning. Does the tweeter have a part number on it?

Good Morning, Adam. All I see is "HF-PER-02" with a ohm symbol below it and a "104" to the right of the ohm symbol - these are all on the side of the magnet. One of the difficulties I'm having is that it screws on to the faceplate with 3 screws and most tweeters I'm looking at seem to have 4. The soft dome membrane itself is glued to a triangular plastic piece which then sits on the magnet.

I would contact Paradigm first.
I also believe Paradigm sourced some tweeters, before they started to
make their own in house. Also, check with Madisound.
