On the Sophia 2 the resistors are the "fuses", as well as a means of adjusting the speaker response. Did you check the resistors that you took out? If they were original, and both were blow, then likely the tweeters were taken out at the same time. If both are good it seems unlikely that that the tweeters in both speakers were taken out without popping the resistors on at least one of the speakers (they do work well as a fuse, BTDT, and the tweeter was fine). It's also difficult to believe that the speakers could leave the factory with dead tweeters, but things happen. As others have posted, pulling the tweeters at this point and checking for continuity is the first step - after checking the old resistors. Old resistors fried, then tweets are almost assuredly toast.
Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2
Hello everybody, I’ve had the Wilson Audio Sofia 2 for over 10 years , always had a feeling that there were lacking the crisp clear highs I’ve enjoyed from the previous Sofia 1 .
I changed locations , amps , speaker cables , processor to no avail - still very muffy dull sound lacking treble/highs in all types of music , in both stereo and multi channel .
I already changed the resistors - no change in sound .
I hooked up to the same set up other speakers from another room (SVS Ultra , B&O) and also my center channel Wilson Audio Watch speaker and I am getting great sound so I know it is not my gear that causing the issue.
Gear used :
Speaker cables :Transparent reference MusicWave Super.
Amp : Emotiva XPA 2 -Gen 2 & Outlaw Audio 770
Processor: Marantz AV8805
CD : Marantz 6007
Subwoofer : Velodyne DD 15
Surround in wall speakers : SpeakerCraft AIM Cinema 5
Interconnects : Mogami XLR for main and sub and Transparent audio RCA to rest of the speakers .
Did anybody encounter or heard of this issue ? Any input is greatly appreciated.
