Dented Tweeter?

Thanks everyone for the advice. However tempting the sucking method is, it may not work on the metal tweeter. I removed the tweeter last night and it was a VIFA D25AG-35 1" dome w/ 6 ohm capability. I did try and use tape before I made the post, but it would not remove all the dents. I haven't tried to rub out the tweeter yet, but Madisound had a drop in replacement for $28.95. Not bad and the tweeter was very easy to remove. Should I buy two, so the tweeters can age togeter, or is burn in more noticable on the midrange and woofer? From what I have read, the Revelation 3s have off the shelf Vifa Drivers (at least for the 4 1/2" and the 1" drivers. Not sure about the woofer. This seems to be good news since the company is no longer and the speakers sound to good to replace. Thanks again for all the advice.

Scoot that's good news. Considering the low-ish cost, why not replace both tweet's & retain the old one as a spare for possible future replacement needs? Or at least buy one spare while they're still available - cheap insurance.

I have a dented metal dome Thiel 2 2. The manufacturer said they have done tests and unless the dome actually hits the magnet, they don't sound worse.

That seems counter intuitive, but I haven't notice a difference.

Nevertheless, I bought a new tweeter anyway so that when I sell them I won't have to deal with that issue.

Years ago, my luvable thug of a godson dented the dustcap on the lf driver of a KEF 103. I called KEF to order a replacement. Their advice: Bend the tip of a needle to 90 degrees. Gently pierce the dust cap near the center of the dent and, using the needle as a hook, pop it out. Then put a tiny drop of superglue over the needle hole.

Worked perfectly. Might not work for a metal tweeter but something to keep in mind for other....events.

I dented the dome on one of my Seas metal dome tweeters. I removed the tweeter baffle and rubbed out the dent from behind with a Popsicle stick that had soaked in water for a while to make it softer. The dent is still slightly noticeable at very close inspection, but appears just fine from a distance. A soft dome should be just as easy, just forget the water on the stick.

BTW, are you interested in selling your F-44 preamp?
