I've had a Marantz PM6002 amp for a while. It has been paired in it's time with Mordaunt Short 902i standmounts and Tannoy F4 floorstanders. Both sounded great through the amp. In both sets of speakers however the tweeters have gone. Music is never turned up ridiculously loud as I live on a terraced street so never going to go crazy!
I don't really like getting bogged down in ohms, etc as realistically very variable but seemed like only way to look at it! On paper, there shouldn't have been any problems.
The Marantz is running 2x 45w into 8ohms, 4ohm to 16ohm speaker load impedence.
The 902i's stated as 8ohm on this site, others suggest a range of 4-8ohm impedence. Recommended amp range from 15-100 watts.
The F4's are stated to be around 8ohm, with max power output of 200w and with recommended amp power from 10 - 140w.
I know this isn't a definitive way to look at things as these numbers can be extremely variable. Anyone any ideas on problems that may be going wrong or other things to look at to think of issues? Don't really want to spend money on new speakers for same thing to happen again. A pair of replacement tweeters for the Tannoys are going to be £200 so just not worth it.
Thanks.
