Optimus Pro LX5 - anyone know these?

[mr_wetland]

I picked these up at the SA today, I had heard these were "sleepers", but when I hooked them up it turns out one of the Linnaeum tweeters isn't tweeting. Two questions for the more experienced out there -

1. Anyone know how to get the grill off the top to get at the tweeter? Or is there a back door? I unscrewed the four little screws, but the top is on tight, and I don't want to pry it off with a screwdriver unless that's my only option.

2. Do you know if it's likely that there could be a loose connection somewhere that I might be able to fix, or is the tweeter probably DOA and I need to hunt for a replacement? I've never seen these tweeters before, and I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks for any help.

I picked up a pair with the same problem a couple of years back with the same problem .. Dead tweeter I've been hoping to find another pair or single but so far no luck.

To get the top screen off you have to take the four screws out then squeeze the screen while gently pulling up. It is then two more screws and two spade connectors to swap them and make sure the tweeter is bad. ( or just pull one spade off and measure resistance across the coil).

Pretty good sounding Speakers.

Good luck, Steve
