Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged

jetter - never was able to get a definitive answer as to what caused the tweeters to go. That said, I did have them replaced by the dealer, although at significant expense for both the tweeters and labor. Although I understand that the two tweeters going at the same time indicate it was probably not a " product defect" issue, I'm a bit disappointed that neither the dealer nor Proac offered to share in any of the repair cost (speakers are only 2.5 years old with very moderate use). I always thought buying from a local brick and mortar dealer was a wise thing to do - for issues just like this. But with the level of support I experienced, now I'm not so sure. And I'm a bit reluctant to continue to use my amp - looking into getting a replacement. Gotta save up the $$$$!

Forgot to mention, I called Millersound and they did not offer repair on the tweeters...

gnoworyta, thanks for the update and honestly wish that the dealer or Proac would have stepped up and helped out.

Totally understandable your hesitancy to use your current amplifier with your new replacement tweeters.

Random thoughts: I think if they were my speakers I would consider buying a pair of the tweeters PBN suggests above for about $250 total and running my speakers with those for awhile as a test.  I would want to know if the tweeters lead wires are soldered or clip on.  I would also want to make sure I could return the tweeters to Parts Express if they did not fit perfectly.

jetter - thanks. I know the replacement tweeters the dealer installed were G2SE's - got them from Proac. Not sure if the G2SI's are the same...

Hi gnoworyta, you can go to the Aurum Cantus website and see every spec you could want for the Aurum Cantus tweeter pnb recommended.  Unfortunately there is no information online for the G2SE that you mentioned the Proac uses..  

Did you happen to notice who manufactured the G2SE?  If it was manufactured by Aurum Cantus you could call them and ask if they are compatible.

To be honest, if they were my speakers and I could not find out the information otherwise, I would ask the dealer or call Proac directly, its not like you owe them anything at this time.  Buying a new amplifier is a big deal, especially as a number of persons aren't so sure that it was the problem.  It would be nice for you to be able to run the speakers in the meantime with a less expensive potential outlay until you have it all sorted out.
