I need some speaker help

I have a MA-6500 integrated running a pair of Def Tech 7002 and a pair of NS-1000m. I listen to loud blues-rock but the Def Tech crossovers have failed twice and I'm in search of my second NS-1000m tweeter. I'm willing to spend the money for the right set of speakers that will hold up to Joe Bonamassa crankin'.

What does "Spend the money" mean?

I suggest high efficiency speakers with prosound drivers.

You might contact Johnk, as he can probably build you exactly what you need.

Other alternatives include the JBL model 4430 or 4435 studio monitors, or Altec Model 19, or Klipsch Heritage series, or one of the larger PiSpeakers models.

Best wishes,

Duke

Line arrays might also work.

I agree with the first two posters. From the damage you are sustaining, it sounds like you are clipping your amp and need more (clean) power. Amplifier clipping will take out tweeters(and/or x-over caps) regardless of the brand/quality of the speaker system.

Addendum: Yes- The alternative is a much more efficient speaker system. But at 92db/1w/1m the DT 7002's are already fairly high efficiency. How big is your listening room? With 200wpc and 92db efficiency you should able to generate some fairly high SPLs.
