I have a pair of Polk RTA 8T where one gives out a muffled sound. I believe the mid-range, located on the very top is partially working but tweeter and sub-woofer is getting no power to it. Physically, they have no damage and appear to be in perfect condition. I suspect that there's a problem with the component that interfaces with the speaker wires (amplifier?), where the coil or one of electrical parts (perhaps a capacitor) went bad. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Club Polk. Take the known good tweeter and place it in the speaker with the "bad" tweeter. If the Good tweeter doesn't play then it is a loose wire or failed component. There is no sub woofer in the RTA-8T.
