Scan Speak Tweeters OK?

I have an older pair of two and a half-way speakers made by the Danish company Avance.  All of the speaker components are Scan Speak.  Sometimes I feel that the soft dome (referred to as coated textile) tweeters are not putting out enough sound.  When I listen close to them it is clear the tweeters are working, both having the same output. 

With tweeters, if they are working at all, are they are working as designed?  Or can the tweeters be damaged, and although they are putting out sound, they are not putting out full volume as when new?

I believe that Madison Sound would have an equal valued replacement.

Thanks in advance,

George

HI George, Have you had these Long? meaning, have you noticed the hi frequencies decreasing or are they fairly newly acquired and you are wondering if they are a bit shy on high end... So, Yes, tweeters can go bad, but it is rare... pull out the tweeter and check the model number. You may be able to replace the diaphragms rather than buying new tweeters. Next, if nothing is wrong with the tweeter, you may try to get the crossover schematic.  A simple change of a resistor or two may solve everything.
