I recently got a, as it says on the speaker, 8812 C Linear Phase Studio Monitor at a garage sale (see pic). I ran speaker wire (plain old kind that would work with say a bookshelf stereo) to it but am only getting sound out of the top tweeter. I am using an older Harman/Kardon 730 twin powered receiver for juice (see pic). It has 40 watts per side on it. I plan on using this setup for a vocal moniter for practice. Are the other speakers just shot? Does it require better speaker wire? Not enough power? I checked that the speakers were hooked up on the inside and the cones and speaker look intact. The receiver has 40 watts per side. Please help!

I think these were the original white van speakers, well in Australia they were anyway. I agree, don't spend too much time on them. Pull the woofer out and measure across the terminal with a multimeter on the ohms setting, it should be somewhere around 6-8 ohms. If it doesn't give a reading it is burnt out.
