Finger damage to tweeter

[admin_exported]

Here was a test for my patience...

... and still fuming a little.

After quite a few months of saving, I eventually purchased a pair of B&W 685 speakers and got them set up in the living room yesterday. I really like them and they were sounding great. I took the cover off the front as I liked the look of the speaker.

Unfortunately a member of the family has used their fingers rather than their ears to check them out and I now have a damaged tweeter! It was really easy to damage - didn't take any force at all really.

Any ideas on what I can do? Will the tweeter "bounce back"? (Long shot I know!) Or will they need to be repaired?

Here's a tip Steve: get a blob of Blu-tac and apply it very gently to the tweeter so it just makes contact, then try pulling the dent out by pulling the Blu-tac. Have tried it a couple of times and it's worked.

But take the blue tack off first !!.

I managed it with the delicate use of a sort of mechanical kitchen plunger !

Masking tape....sticky enough to pull it out but easy to remove when done.....Put covers back on when complete
