I recently had a tweeter go bad, no blown fuse. I picked up an original replcement on ebay. After the installing it there is some wierd stuff going on. One channel carries over the other. I'm thinking that a piece of the xover may be culprit. These are suspended and driven by a very unforgiving but great tube amp, so I would like to have an idea where to start looking before I have to dismount. Is there a possibility of leakage from one of the caps if not total failure. These have been to hell and back in the mid 80's but were kept as new and pampered since introduced into my system less than a year ago. I think the caps are a poly type??? Any input is appreciated.

    Try a different amp first.

    I tried a different amp but same results. When the interlink is disconnected everything works as it should, a monitor 5..... It would be important to note that the blown tweeter was on the sda side. There were no odors.

    Hmmmm, are you the original owner? If so, and you've had no prior problems. I would remove the crossover and inspect if. Check for damage to caps or burnt resistors. Something may be shorted. Remember to check the internal wiring from the fuses to the crossover, from the crossover to the speakers.

    Do you have a wiring schematic for the CRS?
