(in article ):

I recently acquired a pair of ESS AMT-1 speakers.


They don't seem to have the original tweeters (from looking at
pictures of these speakers) and one of them is blown.


Can someone tell what kind of tweeter this is? And can it be
repaired?

If you need more/better pics let me know.


The AMT-1 used Dr. Oscar Heil's Air-Motion-Transformer for a tweeter (tha=

what AMT stood for). If ESS is still in business, you might be able to ge=

replacement for your blown tweeter, but if not, you're out of luck, I'm
afraid.


But, the speakers don't have the original tweeters. They appear to be
some type of ribbon tweeters. I'm just wondering if it can be
repaired.
