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.

Looks like a somewhat difficult replacement - the front baffle of the speaker appears to slide out on rods - most likely secured from the back, see the last picture on the above page.

That being said I wonder why Magico remove the protective screen that the BE dome tweeter is fitted with when procured from ScanSpeak for an example (the dome / surround looks VERY ScanSpeak) its there to protect the dome from specifically what happened to the OP - Probably because its not pleasing to the eye however acoustically it will make no difference. With their design and machining capabilities they certainly should be able to come up with something.

Best of Luck
