hello, i have a pair of meadowlark kestrel 2's and one of the tweeters recently stopped working after a move.. there's no hiss or static, it's just dead
i'm wondering if anyone knows what might have caused this, are any tests i can perform to confirm it's dead? could shipping/moving the speakers have caused a wire to come loose?
also, i've never replaced a tweeter before but if i order a replacement, how easy is it to replace the tweeter? do i just unscrew the original unit and solder in the new tweeter?
should i be replacing 2 tweeters at once so they have the same "burn-in"/time on them or does it not matter?
I believe the x'overs were checked when he swapped the tweeters. That is if the good tweeter stills worked after swapping, that automatically rules out the x'overs.
If u ordering an exact replacement, I am not sure u need to waste money on ordering a pair when all u need is one.
On the flip side, there are those who will argue that the system my sound different given the fact that one tweeter is broken in whilst the other is not.
thanks ajackson, i am just going to get one since it's the same exact replacement
and you are correct in saying that i swapped the good tweeter into the cabinet w/ the dead tweeter.. it works, so yeah, i think the crossovers are fine, it was just a dead tweeter
although, i'm not sure how a tweeter can "die" in transit, can anyone explain if this is possible? there's no physical damage at all
