I also was hoping that your dealer would come through for you. Even if he was to just offer the tweets at dealer cost.
I have read great things about the PS Audio Stellar amps.

Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged
Hi all - this is my first submission, so looking forward to your responses...
I own 2.5 year old Proac D48 R speakers, powered by a Parasound Halo A21 amp (about 8 years old). When listening the other day I thought the speakers sounded dull, muddy. It appears both of my ribbon tweeters have gone out and I am at a loss to understand why. The amp is certainly not under powered to cause clipping damage and I never play my unit abnormally loud - maybe 1/4 to 1/3 total volume.
As you can imagine, my repair/driver replacement will not be covered by warranty as this is not considered a manufacturer defect. I am told the tweeters run $399 per.
Worst thing I can do is have these repaired and then have it happen again. HELP!

... once I get these repaired, I will have to decide whether I feel comfortable continuing to use that amp, or bite the bullet and purchase something new. Based on what has been said in the thread thus far, if in fact electronics in the system caused the tweeters to fail I'm not sure that the amp is any more likely to have been the culprit than the CD player. Good luck as you proceed. Regards, -- Al |
