Take that meter and measure the resistance of the tweeter and woofer connections. If the tweeter is dead it will measure infinity/open. What are the speakers anyway?
I sold that Quad gear and it was pretty good. Is it a 909 power amp? Johns post covered a lot of good points. If you actually played a source with the volume up you'd measure that as AC. As John said with nothing playing if DC and AC measure very low you'll probably be fine.
