Looking for some Watt/Puppy 5 Advice

Hello friends. First time posting, any advice is much appreciated.

I've picked up a set of Watt/Puppy 5's, running a Threshold T3 in to an Audio Research Ref110 and after considerable room tweaking I've arrived at really lovely place with the system.

At any rate, I do have a little tweeter distortion on one speaker and am reading about people replacing the driver resistors.

My main question is: Has anyone experienced a "buzzy" tweeter as a result of a failing driver resistor? Or are the resistors pretty much working if the driver is passing audio? To be honest, I've known quite a few low freq drivers to get farty but a distorted tweeter is new to me.

Everything is tight? make sure everything is torqued, and nothing is touching the driver in the back side. 

I thought when Wilson lost a resistor the driver quit working, a protection circuit, not part of the crossover, in a traditional sense.. Noise gives me pause.. Mechanical noise.. loose, blown or something touching... Just a guess.

Regards, happy hunting..
