B&W 601 dented tweeter repair?

well i finally let my guard down with my 2 year old. i left the speaker covers off for a couple of days and wouldnt ya know he pushed in the tweeter 1st chance he got, @#!% kids!

anyways, should i try to fix it with a vaccumm cleaner or something, or should i just leave it alone? it still seems to sound fine, but it really bugs me to leave it...

Suck it! ...with your mouth.

Metal domes are tricky. The tape may work just be careful not to damage them any further attempting to get the adhesive to grab the dome.

Several days ago the tape method worked perfectly on the metal dome in a small B&W box that I have kicking around. Kicking around...that's how it got dented.

Scotch tape will usually do the trick, metal dome may not be repairable...forget the vaccuum cleaner or Lovelace techniques...these don't work on tweeters
