Nope, straight up bi-wire, jumpers removedComment

This is why when I buy something from Audiogon I like to buy local so I can pick it up myself and inspect before purchasing. :EComment

The tweeters are pretty easy to take out so you should do it and just make sure they are hooked up. The silver colored tube at the back of the tweeter just unscrews and the tweeter will come out of the front of the black enclosure. Take them out and make sure everything is connected OK. If it is, then you probably to replace them.
They do ship from Massachusetts by the way.

Since it's a three way speaker, the midrange wouldn't play if those weren't in place with a single wire speaker cables. The OP said the midrange drivers work fine.Originally posted by Kal Rubinson

I believe you can just twist the front-3rd of tweeter 45 degrees counter-clockwise and then they just pull off forwards. This allows you to check the connectors.
Its best to leave the tweeter grills fully on when you do this to prevent further dents.
You're looking at atleast ~$400 to fix them and the crossovers if they're broken.
It seems unlikely that both connectors would come off at the same time though.Comment

BTW one simple way to test them once apart is to just contact them to the speaker wires. (This is with music at a "very" very-low volume without any filter.)
If sound comes out then they are fine and you have crossover problems.Comment

If the 804S is anything like the N803 I have then DON'T TWIST the "silver colored tube at the back" doing that may damage the wires inside

Unscrewing the silver tube is how you do it. I have a customer that I've replaced both tweeters twice in his 804S due to one of his sons smashing them in.

I have an older pair of B&W P6 speakers....purchased them new approximately in ~1997. They have been used in numerous applications, HT & stereo.
After I purchased my 705's...the P6s just sound DEAD. Midrange and tweeters sound lifeless. I had the tweeters replaced, but that didn't... -
I received a pair of 805s speakers for Christmas. The seller updated the tweeters to the current diamond tweeter and they sound so sweet. I am very happy.
The seller was bi-amping the speakers so when I received them, the jumpers weren't attached. The directions on hooking them up are... -
Is it possible that my less than amateur soldering skills killed one of my tweeters? I have two new Seas D26NC55 tweeters sitting here. I didn't test either prior to attempting to install them.
The first one is dead. Because the terminals are so small, I attempted to solder some 14ga... -
As suggested by 703 manual it's recommended that one can connect both the positive and negative of the speaker cable terminals to the woofers first, or to the tweeters first, it doesn't really matter. However, if the speaker cables are connected to woofer first, I find that the sound becomes a little... -
My AV-receiver has jumpers on the backside for each channel that connects the pre-amp part with the poweramp part. If using an external poweramp, the jumper for the channel has to be removed.
These jumpers are thick metal brackets. I saw that i.e. Audioquest has specific jumpers made...
