So That's Where my Hazelnuts Went!
I wonder about the efficacy in these situations of playing Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture at a very high volume.  Perhaps the incumbent will come shooting out of the speaker... 
Props to Black Cat Cables
The "Flatwave" revision to the Coppertone line that came out earlier this year looks very interesting.  Pity more people don't report on this IC. 
Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed?
@ineedhelpwithcables  You're not answering our questions, and without that basic information we can't help.We need a precise description of your system, with make and model of each component, and how you're hooking it all up.

Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2
Do you remember any occasion when you might have blown both tweeters?  It doesn't seem that probable, but there aren't that many possibilities to explain this.
