Default If I can't feel the tweeters move are they dead?

My speakers are 20 years old and until today I thought they were going
strong. I have always known that they sound better with the grills off,
but because the drivers are made with polypropelene I have always
assumed that I should mostly keep them on to protect them from UV. Every
once in a while I take the grills off and today I did so. For whatever
reason I decided to touch the tweeter dome and was surprised that I
could not feel any vibration at all. I turned the treble knob to full
and tried changing CDs but I could never feel the tweeter dome move at
all, this was on both speakers. Am I supposed to feel the tweeter dome
move?


If you're so deaf that you can't hear a tweeter, then it really doesn't
matter if they're dead or not.

Have you considered listening to some music and listening for the treble?
