    I think the tweeter protection kicks in way too early.
    As has been discussed earlier, average tweeter has a power handling capacity of about 20-30W.
    According to a popular site: http://sound.westhost.com/bi-amp.htm#hf_energy power distribution between drivers in a two way loudspeaker with a crossover at 3000Hz: %85 power to bass and %15 to tweeter.
    This means with an input of 100W average power the tweeter will receive only 15W of power assuming average program material. A tweeter can easily handle this much power.

    Your speakers seem to need a modification of its protection circuitry. If is the bulb type, simply wiring a second bulb parallel to the existing one will probably fix the situation.

    I was thinking the same thing....

    That very interresting. I was thinking that a little tweaking might do the trick. I might try that sometime. This wouldn't throw it off and then hark the tweeters would it?

    Needless to say less protection means more chance to get your tweeter fried! But nobody wants something that's so safe because it's not working at all!

    Exactly

    That's exactly it. The protector seems to cut in at loud volumes after say..10-15 mins. I guess when the elements heat up. The person I was talking to said they use "speaker breakers"

    What he needs to do is move the speakers where he is, or he needs to move where the speakers are
    From his practice of loud volume, he will fry th espeaker for saure if he modifies his protection, guaranteed

    Yes This Is Only Temporary....

    This setup is only temporary, I usually do listen in that room but not for the past while until I get my computer moved back in there. Once I get it moved back in everything should be fine and a comfortable volume in there will hopefully not turn on tweeter protection.
