Tweeter Blown OR Crossover? How to check?
I called and they said these are $128.70 each.  I'll probably buy a couple of them.  Not sure why cheaper?Thanks again everyone for the help.

Did the 1.5v battery thing ..... no sound. 
Tweeter Blown OR Crossover? How to check?
Regarding the amplifier clipping, I really don't think that was the cause.  I have an old Llano 200watt (400 into 4) amplifier driving the speakers only down to 80hz where the subs take over.  It's a pretty solid amp and I don't really listen that... 
Tweeter Blown OR Crossover? How to check?
So, since I believe this tells me the crossover is fine, I will unsolder and then put the meter on the speaker itself and see if it reads anything .... as a double-check.  I will let you know what I see.As I'm certainly not someone on here often, ... 
Tweeter Blown OR Crossover? How to check?
Boy do I feel stupid .... the tweeter I tried from the Polk doesn't work even in it's own enclosure.  They are a set my son used and I didn't test them before I used them for testing.  He must have blown them or something.Regardless, I pulled the ... 
Tweeter Blown OR Crossover? How to check?
I think I have a meter around, certainly not an expert at using it.  Sounds like I need to unsolder one of the wires and test. 
Tweeter Blown OR Crossover? How to check?
Since the connections are all soldered, I haven't undone the connections yet.  I did pull a tweeter out of an old, small Polk bookshelf speaker and ran leads from the Revel connectors on it's tweeter (but they're still connected  /soldered to wire... 
Tweeter Blown OR Crossover? How to check?
They're soldered instead of clipped on.  Which is why I didn't really want to take the other one off the other speaker to test.Thus why I'm asking if I can just hook up another small bookshelf speaker (at speaker inputs) to test the tweeter connec... 
Infinity Prelude MTS
I've also had my MTS Preludes for a few years now. I run them with a Llano 300 watt class A amplifier and Threshold T-3 preamp. I think they are very nice.I have a large room in my finished basement and actually have them 13 feet apart and am 13-1... 
Use Only 1 Channel of A 2 Channel Amplifier?
Thanks for your responses. Sound's like I'd be OK. The amp is a solid state Llano 200-S. Again, greatly appreciated. Scott 
KEF 104/2 vs 105/3
I've never heard the 104/2's before, but have had 105/3's for quite a few years. Combined with the Kube, or JPS Golden Flutes, they are wonderful speakers. I have a wonderful set in rosewood that I will be posting on this site soon. 
Best Preamp under $1000-need 2 sets of RCA outs
Threshold T-3 preamp ..... very good preamp and has two sets. 
Powered Speaker Cables
Yes, speaker cables. The ones I saw were by Synergistic. I think MIT has some as well? Is that what they are is "actively shielded"? The guy said it really helps. Would that help the noise floor so that things are really quiet? 
KEF Reference 4s - anyone using these?
I have KEF Reference 105/3's for mains (same as 4's but with 8 inch woofers instead of 10 inch woofers), KEF 200C center channel, and Velodyne HGS-12 sub. The KEF's, IMHO, are good for 2-channel listening ........ great imaging and soundstage. You... 
Pink Floyd - The Wall Sony 2000
This one (The Wall) is "dated" 2000 and has a picture of the four "masks" on the cover. I noticed there is another one out there "dated" 1994 and has a white brick wall on the cover. Is the one with the Masks alright as a clean sounding, detailed ...
