20 Most Recent Tannoy Reveal 6D Speaker Questions & Answers

What you need to do is connect a 1.5 volt battery to the speaker(s) terminals for a split second. Put your ear to the tweeter at the same time (you might someone to help you do this). If the tweeter "pops" it works, if not you might have blown them. The best way would (to be certain) is to remove the tweeter from the crossover inside the unit.
Tweeters are the first thing to go when the speaker has been connected to an amp that is wrong for them or they have been run at high volume.

Hmm, what killed the tweeters? Over-exuberant operation? What's going on with your amp? Is it being pushed into stress or distortion? THAT will kill a speaker faster than clean high power.

u could only find it inside the amplifier!

Hiya, i assume for now that you mean the 16dip switch. If i remember correctly it is solder directly to board (could be wrong). If you are comfortable with doing this, it will need to be opened and resoldered probably for dry joints. If not then suggest hunting out a friend with some solder experience. A word of caution though, shorting out solder tracks etc could result in damage so only do it if you are comfortable. If the dry joints are really bad (sound like they are) you should be able to see them clearly and resolder (look for not so bright and shiny solder that looks cracked. Magnifier helps)

Hope that helps

One possibility is that the mute switches on your speakers have oxydized contacts INSIDE the switch - this kind of malfunction mostly occurs when the equipment is exposed to moisture and/or smog.

The most common solution is to change both switches, but they can also be disassembled and cleaned up (which is a bit more complicated and time consuming).

Another possibility is a dried up filter capacitor in the power supply or somewhere in the preamplifier section, possibly also a bad preamplifier chip but if your speakers work fine (with the exception of the mute switch noise), then the problem is more likely with the switches.

Also, check the internal connectors for any dirt, broken wires or desoldered pins.

Could also be something else, you should know i'm only assuming on the possibilities and i'm listing the most common problems i've encountered so far.

I still suggest calling Tannoy, They are usually very reasonable and will give you a fair price to service a very good product

Speaker impedance of 8 ohms suggests home hifi use though the stated performance is typical of a bookshelf speaker, designed to be at the "reasonable" end of the market - reasonable performance, reasonable quality, reasonable cost and suitable for a wide range of volume settings at the lower end of the scale... Constructor catalogues generally offer a wide range of loudspeaker drive units including tweeters and mostly provide pictures. If you want to avoid modifying anything simply choose one that looks like yours and then check the description fits.

The speakers consist of an induction coil, and a magnet attached to the cone. You have damaged something internally or the cone itself. Speakers don't have fuses unless they are powered speakers with mains input and an amplifier. You need the speaker repaired or replaced. Contact the maker https://www.tannoy.com/service.html Specs https://www.ebay.com/p/78039939 ..

If the company say they are no longer made, then it's unlikely you will find replacements in any electrical parts supplier. If you still want to use the unit then you will have to look around for one on places like e-bay, which might be faulty elsewhere , but have a working tweeter. A search on e-bay itself might even reveal a spare tweeter! Or a second hand that's cheap to replace the one you have. At least you will another set of spares (except tweeter of course) for the new one!

Two suggestions: They're old how old I can't tell I'd go to their web sight and see what you can find. Sorry that's best I can do.
