Tweeter damage

Hans,you could pull the suspecting tweeter and place it in the other speaker.If the poor sound follows then you have a bad tweeter.If not then maybe the crossover is the culprit or maybe your cables,equip.

Thanks, I´ll test all above. =) Hans

Certainly you can damage a tweeter such that it still outputs, but distorts. Been there done that. They warranteed it, but I do admit I really got carried away that time! I think I was playing Dire Straits... Amp On!

To: Bob bundus. What spkr system was that? My question is: if you break a tweeter, is there´s no question about it? Do you always hear it? Thanks, Hans

Hans this was a horn tweeter; was in a Belle Klipsch speaker. I believe it was made by ElectroVoice. It was only slightly damaged & more audible at higher levels, but even at background level it was distorted. I fried the voice coil; it had some shorted windings although it still functioned. Victim of square-wave amp-clipping & completely my own fault. If you don't hear any distortion then your tweeters have probably survived intact.
