It's probably blown tweeters. But if you want to spend the money on a hipshot guess, try to find the the crossovers somewhere first; then find the readily available tweeters if/when that doesn't work out. Google "alesis monitor one MK2 tweeter".
You could test the tweeters by just removing one non-functional tweeter and wiring it directly to the speaker leads and with REALLY LOW volume containing NO BASS see if it makes any sound, which would prove it does/does not work.
Going forward, if the speakers sound stressed at high volume - THEY ARE. Too much power or too much distortion (overdriven amplifier) will kill speakers.
Testimonial: "Thanks very much for your quick and accurate determination of the problem. I used your troubleshooting tip and by all signs the tweeters are shot."

Thank you for your quick and accurate determination of my problem. I used your troubleshooting suggestion plus doing a continuity check across the termals of each tweeter convinces me that both are shot. I'll look into getting replacements now if I can still find them.
