Re: Sierra 2 tweeter damage...

I currently have 9 pairs of speakers in my house now, have done lots of measuring and have never once run into this.
A testament to just how powerful the motor is in those tweeters, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's not common for something like this to happen with most other speakers. We can joke about a new Pogre sticker, but based on some of the replies it might not be a bad idea to at least include a warning in the paperwork or something. Clearly, I'm not the only one who's had this happen.
There's no change in sq or performance, but the screen protecting that tweeter is warped now and it drives me crazy. I was wondering if I use a hair dryer on it if it might tighten back up, but at this point I already feel like I'm doing everything wrong and knowing my luck I'd end up melting the ribbon...
Ahh....got it!
I have seen how "stuck" the protective tweeter cover (they one used for shipping)...so you know how strong that magnet is.
I wouldn't even attempt to straighten the screen if there is no performance issue.
