Just got these and on one of 'em the woofer's "belly" is sucked in a little, looks dented. Is this anything to be worried about? Otherwise they sound like a trip to the beyond, at least Doolittle does! ~D
 
I'd be a tad concerned if the cap looks dented, though I have no idea if this affects the sound. One wonders about the handling that got it in this shape.

Because speakers like this usually have no grille, it's easy to squeeze in the wrong place when taking them out of the box -- hence, a dented woofer cap.

I've heard about a trick of using a piece of tape to latch onto the cap and gently coax it back into position. Tweeter domes help with accurate dispersion, but I don't know if woofer caps do anything acoustic.
 
Hey, thanks for your help on this. The tape idea is a good, simple first step, so if that works and I don't see any cracks and the sound is there, I guess I just won't give it another thought. Thanks again.
