Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter?????

Well, it finally happened. One of the kids smashed the dome tweeter on my Thiel CS2.3. I talked to Shari at Thiel and she told me to put a piece of masking tape over the smashed in part and pull. It worked easily. But, of course, the speakers still looks crinkled where it was pushed in. However, my first brief listening session did not reveal any major sound problems. I will probably go ahead and replace both drivers but right now its nice to know that I don't have to worry about the kids destroying my speakers. (since they already have) Anyone else ever repaired a dome tweeter? How did it sound?

The following link is a picture of the driver I'm talking about:

I hope nobody puts their mouth on the tweeter after Sanctuary uses the toilet plunger on it.

This could lead to one having a bad taste in their mouth over Theil.

Zakesman,

I believe "Suck starting a Harley" is a higher rating than either "Coating off dome tweeter" or "Chrome off tailer-hitch."

There is also the "Golf ball through thirty feet of garden hose, " but that begins to border on scary.

It's nice that we turn occasionally to these important things in life, away from the mundane topic of sound hardware.
