If the issue is just cosmetic, you should try a vacuum to suck it out, or disassemble it and use your fingers.
Replacing B&W HTM3 tweeter cone
I'm trying to figure out what's the easiest way to fix a deformed tweeter cone of my B&W HTM3s center speaker. It is clear that functionally the speaker is unaffected and the tweeter is only cosmetically impacted, but I would still want to get it fixed.
Now based on the parts that I saw on B&W Support website, I can purchase the entire tweeter ($228) or just the cone assembly ($128). I have no idea yet on how to take out that cone assembly from the tweeter to just replace that or if I need to remove the entire tweeter to replace that little cone alone. I actually unscrewed the 3 screws around the dome, and I can tell the whole assembly is moving forward, but I'm afraid to pull it.
Does anyone here has experience replacing such a cone and help me with some ideas? I can't find any relevant video online.

Yeah, so I ended up following the examples in one of the videos posted above: https://youtu.be/2TJeVzjWizQ I removed the cone and use my fingers and the eraser at the back of a pen to push it back and smoothen it out. You can definitely tell is not perfectly smooth, but at least is not pushed in anymore. Thanks guys! |
