Hi,
I have just come into possession of a set of RTA 8TL.
Everything works perfectly, apart from the crossovers which are no longer powering the tweets.
Where can I find available parts or does anyone know of a suitable replacement to get the old girls blasting again...
Much appreciated

    In all likelihood, the tweeters are blown. You can order the RD0198-1 replacements directly from Polk.

    Remove the wires from the crossovers, and throw an ohmmeter across the tweeter connections. Are the tweeter voice coils open, or do they have ~6 ohms resistance?

    What he said^^^^^^^^^^^^. Test the tweets outside the speakers to verify if it is the tweets or something else first. prob the tweets but it's better to check and verify before throwing away money and time.
