I scratched one of the gold dome tweeters on my RS6s last night…. I had decided to follow the advice given here and by WHF to remove the tweeter grills (uugh!) - very unlike me as I am very careful... A part of the scratch is about 1.5 - 2mm long and has some (indentation) depth to it but there is another 3-4mm that goes on as just a surface scratch.
I tried to hooking up both speakers to the same posts and couldn’t consistently tell if there is an audible difference - sometimes it seemed like it was there and sometimes not…
MA quoted £50 (inc VAT and delivery) for a replacement (for a peace of mind) - seems very high! I have seen lots of forums saying these shouldn't cost more that £15-25. Particularly I saw a US based customer saying his replacement RS6 tweeter cost 'just a few dollars' - £50 at the time would have made over $100 and hardly 'a few dollars'.
Any advice on whether to get it replaced and where to get one for less? Has anyone scratched/indented metal dome tweeters ?
