Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2

Hello everybody, I’ve had the Wilson Audio Sofia 2 for over 10 years , always had a feeling that there were lacking the crisp clear highs I’ve enjoyed from the previous Sofia 1 .
I changed locations , amps , speaker cables , processor to no avail - still very muffy dull sound lacking treble/highs in all types of music , in both stereo and multi channel .
I already changed the resistors - no change in sound .
I hooked up to the same set up other speakers from another room (SVS Ultra , B&O) and also my center channel Wilson Audio Watch speaker and I am getting great sound so I know it is not my gear that causing the issue.
Gear used :
Speaker cables :Transparent reference MusicWave Super.
Amp : Emotiva XPA 2 -Gen 2 & Outlaw Audio 770
Processor: Marantz AV8805
CD : Marantz 6007
Subwoofer : Velodyne DD 15
Surround in wall speakers : SpeakerCraft AIM Cinema 5
Interconnects : Mogami XLR for main and sub and Transparent audio RCA to rest of the speakers .
Did anybody encounter or heard of this issue ? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Is any sound coming out of the tweeters at all?  If not could they have not been connected at all or perhaps out of phase?  Just guessing.

With some speakers it can be difficult to remove the tweeters. If it is not with your speakers I would take one out, if for no other reason, to see if the internal speaker wires are properly connected.

I am hoping that someone here can help you check they are working or not once you have them out. Assuming you have determine that the internal speaker wires from your crossover were correctly attached to the tweeter.

jetset, if your tweeters did burn out 10 years ago as you suspect that’s how long they have not worked, I would doubt they would have any burnt smell at this point if they did then.
