Welcome Jon
They are broken?

Titan hasn't been used for a couple of years...and when powered back up it is unresponsive...fuse ok, power to circuitry checks out.  nothing out of the ordinary from a visual check.  Assuming bad capacitors.  Have removed all of them and waiting on replacements to see if that won't resolve the issue.  If not then on to the transistors...again...everything visually looks pristine.  Have one sapphire III that has been used as a center channel that has been replaced and I'd like to build a companion for it.  I know I can find the driver and tweeter...over time...but would need help on the crossover....are the component values available anywhere at a cost or otherwise?  The Jaguars have had daily use for over 20 years and still going strong but would like to recap them at some time...when needed... but would need the component values as well.  I haven't disassembled the speakers...so maybe the values are labeled on the components inside?  Anyways...that's where I'm at.  These are driven  by a Parasound 5 channel amp and a Krell Preamp....both vintage but still going strong.  I appreciate everyone's welcome and have put the Florida Audio Expo on the calendar!....Thanks again!

Not sure its the case but some speakers goes to sleep aftersome months unused, to awake the speakers you should connect them in a amp with vol pot at zero position for about 30 minutes or more after it try again gently with vol pot at 0,5 or 1 position, if no sound start looking false contacts with a metter.

For new caps I suggest contact Jeff at Sonic Craft:
