No Sound from Tweeter

Thanks. So you think it's blown and not just a loose wire?

I've already received $100 from the seller because the cabinets were in very poor condition. The speakers were listed as being in excellent condition.

They seller told me that he "thought" the cabinets may have some minor scratches but that the all of the drivers were working perfectly. The cabinets had dents all over the place!

For the record, I purchased these from CraigsList. I don't beleive that anyone here on Agon would mis-represent an item the way this guy has.

Reubent, I have the 805's bi-wired and I have checked and re-checked all the connections for proper phase.

Thanks.

I took the tweeter out of it's pod and it has some numbers written on it in black magic marker as well as what looks like some olive-drab paint.

Still no sound though.

Is it possible to repair it?

Thanks.

Thanks Shadorne. I think I will just order a new tweeter and chalk the whole thing up to a bad experience and a poor choice.

I guess I'm too trusting of other people, maybe because I'm honest. I would never mis-represent a pair of speakers the way this guy did.

I'm going to mess with the tweeter for a little bit before the call to my dealer. Maybe it's a loose wire?

Thanks everyone for the advice.

Bgpowell, I hooked the good tweeter up to both speakers and it plays fine, so at least I know the internal wiring in the cabinets is still functioning properly. The other tweeter appears to be dead. The voice coils on both tweeters are very dark, not bright copper as they are when new.

As for returning the speakers it's not going to happen with this guy. I was lucky to get $100 out of him based on the condition of the cabinets.
