I dont know for sure how I blew the driver, but I do know that I have come
home a couple of times and found that one of my teenage daughters friends
has cranked the bass up as high as it would go and all the stuff that
usually sit on the speakers is on the floor. (conversation:"how did this
get
like this?""I dunno, wasn't me") The cone makes a rasping sound when you
move it by hand. No sound comes out of that driver when its hooked up.

What are the T/S charateristics and how do I determine them?

**Thiel/Small characteristics. Most decent driver manufacturers supply them,
with their products. You can measure the characteristics in your good
driver, or pay someone to do it for you. Once you've determined the specs,
you can then search for a suitable replacement. Unfortunately, to describe
the method by which you can measure the driver yourself, is well beyond the
scope of the news group. The procedure will take around 2 hours, it you have
some basic test equipment. If you have computerised equipment, it will take
around 10 minutes.
