Tweeter damage

Anyone heard damaged tweteers? Do they go lika a fuse, i.e. either they work or are totally corupt? Or can they just be slightly damaged? I send a Dolby Digital signal through analog pre-amp...A VERY unpleasent experience! Read that it could damage my ears as well as my speakers... Grateful for any info! Hans -Sweden (Hence my English)

Hans,you could pull the suspecting tweeter and place it in the other speaker.If the poor sound follows then you have a bad tweeter.If not then maybe the crossover is the culprit or maybe your cables,equip.

Certainly you can damage a tweeter such that it still outputs, but distorts. Been there done that. They warranteed it, but I do admit I really got carried away that time! I think I was playing Dire Straits... Amp On!

To: Bob bundus. What spkr system was that? My question is: if you break a tweeter, is there´s no question about it? Do you always hear it? Thanks, Hans
