Wilson Watt 3 Tiny Tots Tweeter issue

Hello new to the forum. Got burdened with a pair of Wilson Watt 2 Audio Puppies/ Watt 3 Tiny Tots
Fired them up for the first time today. One Tiny Tot works fine, the other one seems to have a dead tweeter.

Took the tweeter out, did not unsolder the internal wires, and measured across the terminals (with the internal wires still attached) 24.4 Ohm. Is this meaningful, or am I just measuring something in the dividing network?

Thanks

Carsten

When you cut the wires to the tweeter, get as close to the tweeter lugs as you can

Interesting choice of words. Why are you “burdened” by a pair of Watt Puppies? Regarding the tweeter, unsolder it if you can vs cutting. It will make resoldering the new one just a little easier.

Have you tried to lift the Puppies? Must be 120 pounds each. It's above the limit of what I can physically handle. 

 

Unsoldered the wires

I’ve got Wilson’s as well… yeah they are freakin’ heavy for sure. Put them on sliders, makes them much easier to deal with when getting them placed.
