It had to happen someday...
Someone moved my preamp slightly on my rack, and both output cables were ungrounded. When I turned on the amp... well... you know...
Bottom line is, I burned out - blew both tweeters.
I removed the tweeters today. By what I saw (I can't measure them now) they are the worst tweeters I've ever seen. Worse than the Hi-Vi TN-28s. They look like the little metallic "speakers" the old "Game & Watch" videogames had. The magnet must be 1 ~ 2 mm. thick and 1" in diameter. The whole tweeter can't be thicker than 4 mm., or so.
I will take a pic of them next to a Seas 27TBFC... promise you won't laugh..
But, those things were hideously expensive, so I really need to get them fixed.
I already e-mailed Monitor Audio, without any luck. My dealer says it'll take him a couple of months to get replacements (what?).
Does anyone know of any way to find these tweeters? I don't think I'll have any luck...
