You can also check the back of the speaker connection box to make sure you don't have a loose connection. Two screws hold it in and the wires for the tweeter are tightened down by 2 post nuts. Its unlikely but you'd hate to send it in and then find out it was as a simple as a nut came loose
Magnepan 1.7 Tweeter issue ...
I bought a pair of used 1.7's last year. Flawless transaction with a fellow Audiogon member. Love the speakers but yesterday noticed that the left speaker sounded less "bright."
After comparing the two, it was noticeable that the left speaker was missing the high end. I tried switching cables, switching speakers and came to the same conclusion - that perhaps the tweeter is gone.
They haven't been driven hard, though I have "rocked out" occasionally. I'm using an Emotiva XPA-1 amp and Emotiva USP-1 preamp.
Is it possible that the tweeter has burned? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
