I returned home yesterday from work, ready to relax to some chilled out tunes and found, to my horror, that my iQ3's tweeter had been dented!
My house keeper dented my tweeter!

Good job that, having enough wedge for a housekeeper, you'll got the money for a replacement
But seriously - bad luck. There are lots of stories here about speaker damage caused by over-enthusiastic children, spouses and cleaners.

I guess being in South Africa, we can afford housekeepers, but decent hi-fi is a bit more pricey.....
yes you can use cellotape (i prefer duct-tape as it is stickier) to remove the dent. get an inch of your prefered tape and make a ring with the sticky side facing out. gently caress the tape against the dent in your cone so as to get the tape to stick to it without pressing too hard so as to cause futher damage. once the tape is secure against the dent pull gently on the back of the ring of tape. you may have to repeat this procedure several times. seriously i would only use duct-tape if i was you as it is the only tape i have found that is adhesive enough for this job.
hope this helps.

If you've got a vacuum cleaner with variable suction that cah also work quiet well.........I've used both methods in the past, used to work in the car audio industry and was always having to do it.
Did I mention that the tweeter is aluminium...ah well, I might as well try it out. Thanks for your input, I'll let you know hows it comes along.
I feel for you.........I posted on here recently about a friend's child breaking a string on my guitar.........the next thing I did was put the speaker covers on 
I was annoyed but couldn't do anything to the offender...........combination of them being a child and belonging to my friend.........but as for your housekeeper.......... (I jest of course)

(I jest of course)Did they say anything or pretend nothing happened?I didn't speak to someone one for about 2 weeks because they knocked one of my pro-ac's off its stand. Fortunately only 2 dents on the corners rather than damage to the drivers.
Hi Sivanessen.
Bad luck. I really feel for you. My daughter dented my tweeters when she was just 2 years old. Luckily for her I was besotted with her plus the speakers were quite cheap anyway!
Its my turn to organise a party round my place for all my old school friends I`m still in touch with and their children. I`ve just bought some new speakers and I am seriously worried about one friends son in particular. I want to show off my new speakers, grills off and all but I wont be able to relax.
Wish me luck!

[/quote]get the ones who'll care over first to show them off then change them for the old ones! The couple of parties i've had i've changed back to the 601's as its not so important if they get broken.

So i'm moving out of my flat soon and there are folks coming round to view it when i'm not there.... would it be too paranoid to call the agency and point out that the loud speakers really don't need anyone going too near them?

Nope, but I would word it that it's their responsibility to ensure that any visitors do not damage anything - including your hifi!!!
