Can this dented KEF tweeter be fixed?

[yonyz]

Hi,

I have a KEF KHT3005 speaker with a dented cone. It absolutely affects the sound of it because I feel like checking my ears whenever I listen to this pair of speakers where only one has a dented dome.

Opening the enclosure is fairly easy, but I have no idea how to reach the tweeter itself. Here are some photos.

Is it possible to reach the back of the dome of the tweeter to push it out? I've tried using a shop vac and a tape but since it's aluminum it requires a significant force.

Thanks.

DO NOT USE A SHOP VAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it sounds different, that may be the reason. By itself, that dent shouldn't make a huge difference.

I doubt that damage is affecting the speaker that much. You can not get to the tweeter. I suspect if you have good hearing those speakers will want to make everyone check their hearing. A huge portion of the audio spectrum will be missing with such a small baffle. There is no way those speakers will go low enough to mate with any sub. That is what a class as a 'vanity' product for the ill informed. I doubt I could listen to those for 30 seconds.
