Meadowlark Blue Heron - gas tweeter leak problem?

Do you know anything about the Audax - gas-filled piezo-electric tweeter leaking in these speakers. Anyone have or heard of this? Is this a fault in design that is a matter of time before it leaks or was it a defect that afflicts some but not all?

Thanks for your reply to my thread re: these tweeters. I just purchased a pair and the surface of the tweeter has a patina of mild wrinking. But the damn things sound better than my previous speakers. I am wondering if I should replace the tweeters or let them be? I don't detect distortion but someone told me the effect of the lost gas would be output volume and as good as they sound the vocals could be more forward than they are. they are good but they blend into the background instruments more than I would prefer. Madisound offers two suggestions if I want to replace.Audax TW025A28 Gold Dome Tweeter https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=120&products_id=8484

and the ScanSpeak R2904/7000-05 Ring Radiator

Would you be so kind as to offer your advice?
