  I'd have serious doubts about that. Id he using a Harbor Fright
  DMM?. Is he making an excuse to not pay?. Voicecoils can short and
  show LESS Ohms, but nothing like he said. If so, it would hardly
  make any sound.

  I'm not familier with YOUR driver, or what you mean by "stuffed".

    If the voice coil truly measures in megohms, it is open. The speaker will not work with an open voice coil. If the speaker works at all, his measurement is wrong.

      thanks John
      this is coaxial driver- so would that 9ie no sound) be the case for the whole unit?

      • It's not a coaxial driver it is a 'full-range' whizzer-cone driver - Timbo in Oz 04:32:26 03/16/15 (0)

        The whizzer-cone being driven by the main cone and its motor. The whizzer is one of the most elaborate ever designed, but it isn't a coaxial.

        HI John
        sorry for the typos.
        the speaker is a coaxial and I think the guy is only having trouble with the tweeter

          It's not co-axial, it's a whizzer cone driver.
          
          That said Coral Beta's have by far the best implementation of whizzer cones I've come across.
          It's almost bearable to listen to long term.
