Tannoy Reveal passive nearfield trouble

[Steal Sessions]

I just picked up some Tannoy speakers (Reveal, nearfield, passives) and I openend the box where they came in and one of the speakers have the bobble on top of the tweeter pused in . I'm 100% confident that this was not done by me while unpacking the speakers, it came out of the box like that. I called the company I got them and they adviced me to try to unpop it using a vacuum cleaner, but I'm not really confident that is a smart thing to do. Any idea's? Or else I'll have to return them next week. (200mile drive again, I'm not really looking forward to that..).

Thanks for any advice.

EDIT: tried the vacuum idea, doesnt' work. I guess I'm up for another trip next week..

This sucks.

I'm hearing more and more of this Out of Box crap....
Wharfedales several with like blown tweeters, or mis-wired...
I had an RNC arrive fhkd up...the Core Sound store said "complain to FMR"

Hell, I may go back to GCenter at least I can return sht without spending $20 shipping and fhkng time...thats worth a few $?

From reading posts one should do that anyway with monitors,
but the gang hear gives alot of hype over some sht at times...
like frenzy. gearhead addiction.me too.

Jup, I'll have to return the speakers I guess, the one that looks like it should be looking, without a pushed-in dome sounds really nice. The pushed-in one sounds like all sound above 3kHz is 12 db less loud than it should be, a real bummer. Well,it's going to be difficult to return them I'm afraid, since I lost the receipt that I got saturday . Damn, I'm an asshole sometimes. If it works and I'm allowed to return them without the receipt I'll have them open the box and I'll check the speakers myself before I start the trip home again.

UPDATE: I contacted Musik Produktiv and they told me that I can come and exchange the speakers. I'll do that tomorrow..

brick n' mortar stores...swap it out easily.

deepwater/selling whafs and KRK's..

GC doesn't have much, and I odn't have extra cash to ship sht back/forth.

I read that deepwater/whaf thread too late.. also sending them to europe might not be so efficient (shipping/AC power ect..). I'm happy with my Tannoys, much better than the old bookshelf speakers I had before..I just recorded my own band and have one offer to record another.. If I'm still happy doing this in a year or 2 and get better @ it I might switch again, but for now and the coming year or so I can work fine with my Tannoys I guess...
