Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
The Solen caps in the picture are date 1989 and 1990, not sure they were still making the DQ20i¡¯s in 1990. I have totally rebuilt mine 4 or 5 years ago and don¡¯t remember Solen caps.

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
1) Some of the inductors are wound with fine wire, so be careful poking around. 2) None of the resistors looked fried 3) Nothing seems to be disconnected 4) There were manufacturing variations, so

Just because I haven't seen this posted anywhere, here is a pic of my high filter crossover. This pic is taken looking in through the hole left after taking the woofer out. There was a fair amount of

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
If you determine that your tweeters are blown consider upgrading to the Hiquphon OW1. These are made by a former Scan Speak design engineer. I have a pair in my DQ-20s and I like them. My Scan Speak

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
Resistance is 5.5 and 6.0 ohms on the tweeters without disoldering them from the XO, but with the fuzes removed and the speakers disconnected from the receiver. ?I tested both external fuzes on each

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
Don't try to run them direct. If they are not already blown that will blow them. Try taking voltmeter readings right off the connections with them hooked up as they already are. Test CD source is

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
They have a history of being fairly fragile. But are you sure the fuses are still good. Just swap them with whatever you can find for a test.

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
The tweeters are the original Scanspeak D2008 8517 (3/4 inch soft domes... not piezos). I'll try wiring them directly. Getting at the XO may be a chore. ?I have to find it first and if they are

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
Ok, I swapped out the source (to a known good NAD Receiver) and I am clearly getting zero output from tweeters. I fear the guy that owned them before me fried them. I'll pull them out (and maybe check

Thanks for the advice. ?I have a cheapo digital VOM (Greenlee) so I don't know if my equipment is up to the test. ?Still, I tried what you suggested and didn't hear a pop in either tweeter. On the

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
Check the resistance on the driver removed from the circuit. They make a replacement now with the fluid cooling. Bill Meyerhoff 843-834-2828 I have the DQ20i¡¯s also!

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
If you put a standard multimeter on the ohms position in the Rx1 scale, it should only use the 1.5 V battery inside. If you touch the leads quickly to a driver solder terminal points, you should hear

Re: DQ-20i Tweeter dead?
I know enough about the DQ-20 and DQ-20i to be dangerous. But if it is both tweeters, it may be the way you biWired the speakers. I would think to get a proper diagnosis from people who know more than
