Vienna Acoustics speakers help

Please help! 
I’ve recently purchased a pair of VA Beethoven Concert Grand Reference without testing/audition (stupid me) and the seller is ghosted on me. Brought home, hooked everything up. I hear no sound coming out from tweeters and midranges on both speakers but only sound coming out from woofers. I’ve tested with 3 different amps (DNA225, CJ2250A, and Parasound2250) and also changed out different cables too. Is the drivers or crossovers bad? Is fixable? Or maybe I didn’t connected it right? Any advices or inputs would be greatly appreciated.

There might be a fuse in the crossover?

Are the jumpers on speaker terminals installed?  If it is a bi wire speaker, that would account for it.

beethovens don't have dual binding posts. I think you're going to have pull the drivers and test them with a multimeter.

I really doubt those speakers have internal fuses. Check drivers individually but be careful. Use an ohmmeter to check resistance first before checking audibly. They are not bi-wired, no jumpers.

After multimeter test, I got no ohm reading. I think both speakers midrange drivers and tweeters are toasted. Thanks for everyone help.
