$75/tweet is not excessive. I wonder which tweet it is...
Blown Tweeters = Some Sound/No Sound?
Hey guys,
I just looked at a pair of speakers that I was thinking about buying, but when I listened to them, it was obvious that the tweeters were NOT working.
I disconnected the "jumpers" (they're bi-wirable) and connected the cables to only the mid-tweeter binding posts just to isolate the problem as best I could.
On BOTH speakers, there was absolutely NO sound. Does this mean that the tweeters are blown or is there possibly more to the problem?
I've never blown a speaker before so I'm not sure what it sounds like. I know that tweeters can be the most sensitive and maybe the voicecoil got cooked. I just figured that there'd be some kind of noise...just distorted or something.
If I can get them for a good price and replacement tweeters are fairly reasonable...AND...if I can know with certainty that replacing the tweeters will solve the problem, then I just might go for it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
