"Dented tweeters — Does not affect sound "


Can we all agree to stop posting this crap in speaker ads?

Your toddlers poking at your speakers with a crayon, lego, toy hammer, etc. most certainly affects the sound and you should expect to take a financial hit because of it. If a dealer fed you that line of BS, you'd set about gathering angry hordes of audiophiles with torches and pitchforks.

Rant over. I feel better.

I know a lot of driver manufacterers use dust caps for dispersion. If the dust cap is missing, dented, crinkled or wrinkled, it will affect the sound.
Brf, dome tweeters don't have dust caps. Who said anything about dust caps at all? This is just more misinformation.

If tweeters sounded the same with dented diaphragms wouldn't the speakers manufacturers dent them in advance?
Yakbob,

Your going to love a recent ad for a pair of Martin Logan Vantage that say
"Great condition other than the crack in the corner of one"

I don't like dented speakers....if they make an audible difference or not it still bothers me. You can sometimes straighten the dent by using tape or a pin to pull out the dent.. I would either send the speaker for repair or replace the driver myself. Things like that bother me.
