Hi,
I found a set of these on the curb today during my walk.
They are 2 way and bi-ampable. The larger speakers are 4 ohm and work just fine.
Is there test method (other than listening0 that I can use to check the functionality of the tweeters?
Thanks for your help, Vince

Vince,

Usually the part of the crossover that connects to the tweeter is capacitor coupled so you can't check it with an ohmmeter - at least not usually. If you have an audio oscillator you might try feeding that to an amp at low volume at above 3 kHz and see if you get output from the tweeter. Otherwise, just try listening to them.

Nice find!! Free is very good!!
