Tweeter cone on my B&W 805 Naut's is pushed in

I bought these used and the buyer didn't indicate that one of the tweeter cones (not the grill) was pushed in. It isn't broken or torn, but clearly somebody touched it and pushed it in. My question is how significant is this damage. The speakers sound good, but I can't imagine that this isn't causing some loss of performance.

Thanks guys, all joking aside, the "sucking" worked and although it has crease marks, it is now in the proper position. Upon closer inspection the front tweeter assembly looks like it has a hair line crack in the top and bottom plastic which rims the tweeter cone. I bought this from an Audiogoner and I'm trying to work it out. Hopefully the seller is a stand up guy like most I've dealt with on this site.

Sucking on your speaker must make for one heck of a "Kodak Moment"???

Just get a vacuum cleaner, attach the extension tube, then place the opening of the tube around the damaged tweeter's cone. Turn on vacuum. It should suck the cone back in shape.

Good luck,

The Nautilus tweeters run around $100 for the 805's as this is what the dealer quoted me.

Hi, I have seen this problem. Scotch tape wont work, use duct tape or black electrical tape. Get maximum surface area of the tape on the cone and it should pull out. I dont think you will hear any difference sonically.
