Thewizz Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I have 2 Klipsch R-28F's hooked up to an Onkyo TX-NR838 receiver. The other day I turned the volume up to 92 for the first time and when I did both of the tweeters on the towers cut out. I turned the volume down and the one came back on, but the other did not. I tried switching the speakers to see if it was my receiver, but that wasn't the case. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what it could be? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkfan9 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 An easy way to check if it's the tweeter is to swap the tweeter. You can pry off the plastic around the drivers fairly easily (though it may not seem easy at first), then unscrew the horn. You'll have to disconnect the tweeter (tape the wires up so you don't lose them in the box), and then do the same on the other speaker. Plug the non working tweeter into the working speaker and see if it produces sound. If so, it is likely a crossover issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkfan9 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 First, though, check to make sure the metal connectors between the top and bottom binding posts on the back of the speakers are still secure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know any good places to order a replacement? Thank you for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another is http://reconingspeakers.com/product/klipsch-r-28f-tweeter-1061375/ That is the whole assembly, with horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
