Is my 25's tweeter okay?

I haven't noticed any problems sonically, but I've always meant to ask about this. As you can see, there's a small crease or something along those lines on the left side of the outer ring of the tweeter.

Just for kicks, does anyone know offhand what a replacement driver would cost?

    Was it like that when it was new?

    My guess it was dinged by the previous owner. If it hasn't affected the sound then it is probably ok. That tweeter is no longer made. Last I checked a silk dome replacement was $70 or so even with a CP discount. Maybe a used one is available, but used tweeters are often a crapshoot. Unless it is noticably a problem soundwise...I wouldn't worry about it.

    Just curious, where did you read this?
