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)

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

Hans this was a horn tweeter; was in a Belle Klipsch speaker. I believe it was made by ElectroVoice. It was only slightly damaged & more audible at higher levels, but even at background level it was distorted. I fried the voice coil; it had some shorted windings although it still functioned. Victim of square-wave amp-clipping & completely my own fault. If you don't hear any distortion then your tweeters have probably survived intact.
