idk honestly but perhaps you need to use some punctuation anyway maybe the tweeters are blown thiels are not known for lacking treble i had a pair and they were bright bright bright .... was it the 2.2 that came with an eq box do you have that?

@mastering92, @mike_in_nc gets it.
I’m not suggesting one do that for long term listening, but rather to check to hear if all the drivers are functioning properly. With the greater overlap of frequencies that occur with 1st order crossovers it might be difficult for some to otherwise identify specific problems.
mike the 2 2’s did not come with the eq box, which was for the low frequencies.

Yeah, most likely some drivers aren't working.  The 2.2s are supremely enjoyable neutral speakers, but the first order crossovers mean each driver plays a very wide frequency range.  I wouldn't be surprised if they sound muffled because only the woofer is working or only the woofer and midrange are working.  Turning down the volume and listening to each driver closely is a good idea.  Listening to one speaker at a time is a good idea.

checked every thing for 2 days. all drivers a re working fine. trble is low. but in some songs played like amanda mcbroom treble is ok but not great bass is vgood.so trying to check the tweeters and 68 ohms resistor connected to tweeters. and finally thinking of to recap the crossovers as my technician is claiming it could e the main culprit of uneven frequencies.inputs needed

Definitely check for blown drivers or crossover components.  Thiel 2 2's are quite bright with almost any amp.
