No, a preamp is NOT what you need.

I sense your reluctance to sending your receiver to a repair shop for a good checkup. But, that may be exactly what you need to do.

It wouldn't hurt to check your cables and connections again. Maybe have a friend check them. Sometimes a second set of eyes will see things a little different.

I agree with the other posts that it does seem extremely odd that you have received so many "bad" tweeters. No, in all probability, something other than the tweeters is causing your problem.

I think that you know what has to be done, but, my friend, you just don't like it.
