Some kids were playing with my speakers, and the result was dented dome on one of my tweeters. 🙁
Dent was small, and I carefully menage to move it back, with hoover, but several small dents, with depth less than 2mm are still visible. I have tried to pull those dents back by pooling with small peaces of sticky paper but without success.
I can not hear any difference in sound, but I would not like to leave the tweeter like this.
I have two options:
1. to repair this somehow
Should I try to open the tweeter and to push dome from inside somehow? I really do not believe that this would help, because I suspect that thin film of lacquer or something else must been broken since dome can not be flatten back... (it returns to dented position even after I pull it with sticky paper).
Should I touch it with some lacquer from inside?
Any suggestions?
Can I ruin the sound this way?
2. to replace the tweeter
Tweeter is labeled with: "Dynaudio D2 31", and I can not find such model on internet?!? 🙁
Does anybody know which drivers my speaker consists of?

Dynaudio stopped selling drivers to individuals when they were bought out by TC Group a few years back.
The only way to get a replacement is to contact Dynaudio and send them the damaged driver for replacement.
Sadly at the same type Dynaudio/TC Group doubled the prices for spares as a friend of mine found out when the M2s in the studio he worked in blew a woofer at just after the takeover.

Now it's hard to leave alone but I would. The more you mess with it the more likely you are to make it worse.
A trick we used to use with peerless domes - may work with these (assuming they are cloth domes) Hot air from a hair dryer or heat gun will sometimes get rid of the puckers. BE CAREFUL NOT TOO OVER HEAT! Especially with heat gun. Good luck with it.
When my soft dome got dented I used the vacuum cleaner to suck it for a few seconds...it got back to normal. (Do with your own risk)

I've had silk dome tweeters repair them-self with use.
So first of I would play lots of music through the speakers at medium to loud volumes.
