I remember back many years ago I lost the tweeters in my Advent 
speakers, leaving the other drivers OK. The problem was RF 
oscillation in the output stages of the amplifier. About 200 KHz 
at 75 watts fried the tweeters. My failing memory tells me that 
the filter inductor also fried open, and I rewound it, amazing 
tech support at Advent.
