How can they not effect the sound


I frequently see advertisements for speakers that say there are dents in a driver but it doesn't affect the sound. Considering all the work that goes into the cones, how can that really be true?

I used to own some wonderful Von Schweikert speakers.  The dome tweeter of one was dented.  On the advice of VS, I used the tube extension of a vacuum cleaner to remove the dent.  The directions were as follows:  with vacuum on and tube held steady, pointing straight at the dome, slowly approach the dome. When you get very close without touching, say an inch or two, it will pop out.  I did and it did.
