Magnepan 1.7 Tweeter issue ...

I bought a pair of used 1.7's last year. Flawless transaction with a fellow Audiogon member. Love the speakers but yesterday noticed that the left speaker sounded less "bright."

After comparing the two, it was noticeable that the left speaker was missing the high end. I tried switching cables, switching speakers and came to the same conclusion - that perhaps the tweeter is gone.

They haven't been driven hard, though I have "rocked out" occasionally. I'm using an Emotiva XPA-1 amp and Emotiva USP-1 preamp.

Is it possible that the tweeter has burned? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

IIRC the panels are fused.

Yeah...check the fuse and/or the jumper to make sure it is
tight. You might even need to unscrew and pull off the back
plate to be sure the wire is still connected inside. They
use just a simple push-on connection that might have vibrated
loose.

Magnepan is a pretty reputable company. I would give them a call. I've seen many times where a good audio company will cover something even though its out of warranty. You have nothing to loose.
