Upsetting story looking for a solution

Right to it. My granddaughter stuck a finger through both berlynium tweeter covers on my Q5 speakers. I live in NJ. I contacted Magico. They are short of $1500 each. Plus shipping and labor. Magico does not sell the covers separately. They are part of the tweeter I am told. They vibrate  on high frequencys I am told as well. Anyone have any experience or possible options for me? I am considering replacing on my own. Just seems insane for the cover. I have played tracks 4, 5 and 6 on The Ultimate Anologue test LP with what seems like great results. Am I missing something? Any info, ideas or solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Be is  too brittle to dent at room pressure.  Like diamond domes, it disintegrates.

Not sure what the direct replacement is,  it is possible the driver was in fact  custom, but that is a claim often made but not true.  Looking at the driver you should be anle to tell very quickly.

Actually, now that i think about it, many drivers have replacement domes available. Contact Madisound and see if they can be ordered. Far cheaper than replacing the entire tweeter. Due to the nature of Be however, Scanspeak may not want to send out raw domes.  on the other hand they may have a repair service avilable.

Best,

You should send the speaker to Magico it is costly but they will be fixed right.I know had my Mini 2s fixed and now have Q3,Good luck

I think that insurance agents will solicit hi-fi dealers to promote their services sold as package with equipment.

With some patience you might see if anyone from Magico qualilfied to do the work will be in the area any time soon.  For the cost of materials and a nice dinner, perhaps you could arrange an in-home repair.  Worth an email to Magico, I think.
