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
Tweeter Dome Puncture
Techie question. I was looking at some loudspeakers that I was going to buy (used from a private party) when I noticed a small, pin-hole sized puncture on the dome of one of the tweeters. Is this something that can be easily fixed--is a fix worth it for a pair of used speakers for which I will probably pay $500? Does the dome integral to the design of the tweeter, or is it more of a cover? Thanks!
