Purpose of Dome on Tweeter...

Its only inverted because they installed the tweeter backwards. Its a quality control issue.

What? Are you serious or is that suppose to be a joke.

Focal also uses inverted dome tweeters, and you can see the differences in design here,

"Focal also uses inverted dome tweeters, and you can see the differences in design here,"

Wilson uses Focal tweeters.

If not, why aren't they just pushed in at the factory?

That would be the inverted dome tweeter like Wilson Audio uses."

I thought that was a joke. Pushing the domes in at the factory? How could it not be a joke?

Sorry Zd, slept late this morning, let's get another cup of coffee.

As far as jokes, the best one was what a wife of a potential speaker buyer said when the grill was removed exposing the woofer with a substantial phase plug,

"Oh, little boy speakers"

Myself and the rest of the guys were speechless.

I figured as much. Even I was joking when I was asking why they don't push the domes in from the factory; it was basically for those people who might respond that it has no effect on sound.

I figured that the dispersion would have to be changed when the domes are dimpled and halfway pushed in. I don't get why these sellers disclaim the nicks on the cabinets but say nothing about the dimpled and dented tweeters. I've actually read ads where the seller will claim that the speakers are in excellent shape besides the scuffed and scratched (and nicked) cabinets but I can clearly see that the tweeters look dented in. When I ask about the tweeters being dented the seller will respond that "yes, the tweeters are dimpled / dented but it in no way effects the sound"...

In another ad for a pair of unknown speakers with a mtm arrangement (dynaudio looking drivers) the seller states that he's an audiophile who's had many speakers but these are the best sounding speakers he's heard apart from a blown midrange driver.

I've got an incredible sports car for sale that runs great and is in excellent shape apart from the knocking motor and dents in the hood, doors and trunk. The roof is in nearly perfect condition and the torn seats are an easy fix. Buyer will have to tow the car because it currently won't start because of a dead battery which is an $80 fix and 10 minute repair that I just don't have time to do!
