If your tweeter has a detachable faceplate and voice coil/dome,meaning that if you can get to the inside of the dome itself try this to remove the crease.I've had the same happen and used a very smooth rounded wooden dowel to gently rub the inside of the dome.The rounded shape insures that you won't deform the metal and actually helps to restore the original radius.Best of all the crease will vanish!
Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter?????
Well, it finally happened. One of the kids smashed the dome tweeter on my Thiel CS2.3. I talked to Shari at Thiel and she told me to put a piece of masking tape over the smashed in part and pull. It worked easily. But, of course, the speakers still looks crinkled where it was pushed in. However, my first brief listening session did not reveal any major sound problems. I will probably go ahead and replace both drivers but right now its nice to know that I don't have to worry about the kids destroying my speakers. (since they already have) Anyone else ever repaired a dome tweeter? How did it sound?
