What has blown my tweeter????

I turned on my system this afternoon and noticed to my major dismay that the tweeter on one of my speakers, (JMLab Megane Carat), has totally disappeared! I always listen at
reasonable volumes, (between 7 and 15, out of 60, on the Classe Cap 101 Led), and I listen primarily to classical and jazz.

Does anyone have an idea as to why the tweeter would get up and disappear like this? What normaly causes tweeters to blow?

Thanks for any and all help.

My audiophile cat does not agree with Sarah, and thinks the dog buried it in your back yard. If the tweeter is still there, then check the wiring.

Thanks for the humorous replies. My use of hyperbole was perhaps a little confused... The tweeter is still physically in the speaker, it just doesn't emit any sound. I did notice however that on the day previous to the tweeter malfunction there was a high pitched sound when I turned the volume on the Cap 101 up without any source input. When I reached 30 on the Led, the right speaker (the blown one), made a strange crackling sound... It was not immediately broken though.

Might this be due to static? Something wrong with the Cap 101?

Does your speakers have some type of fuse device?

No my speakers do not have fuses. They are a two way design using Focal drivers.
