Tweeter Dome Puncture

If its just a pinhole it probably does not effect the sound. Make sure there are no hard to see cracks if it is a meddle dome. If you cant hear it dont worry about it. Point it out and maybe you can get a better price.

There seems to be some confusion among us respondees as to what design of tweeter you are dealing with here. If the tweeter is a dome tweeter, then this is not merely a dustcap, as I stated above; that would only apply if it is instead a cone tweeter. But in either case, the repair method that Calvin refers to is what I was talking about when I said it could indicate further damage having been done in the past than you can now see. Listen up close to that tweeter alone to make sure no rasping or vibrating noises are coming from it that might signify a misaligned voice coil. Do the same with the other tweeter as a comparision.

Thanks for the very thoughtful responses, all. A call was placed to Soliloquy, and they said that the silk cap is merely a dust cover. As a check, we played an old mono jazz recording, connecting only the tweeter section of each speaker. We then went back and forth with the balance, and we could discern NO difference. Basically, I'm satisfied. BTW, Soliloquy said that a replacement tweeter is $45.00, and it's a simpler solder job. Oh, I don't believe I mentioned the model; it's the 5.0 monitor. So, all, thanks again for your help! Johnny
