pushed-in tweeter of Kan restored !
Posted by: Alco on 12 May 2002
Hi folks,
sorry, I also mentioned it as my last reply on the "My Kan has a pushed-in tweeter" thread, but I'm so happy that I wanna shout it out!
My Kan's are brought back to life and they're here to stay!
How ??
Well, first I was pretty grumpy and sad,and I was ready to put 'em back in their box and wait till next week to return the Kan's to the dealer but then....
I had this idea. Since the Hiquphon tweeter isn't broken, only pushed in, I thought it might come out with something sticky.
So I got me a small piece of this (kinda chewing gum) elastic,doublesized (very) sticky tape and carefully stick it onto the pushed-in tweeter.
Than I carefully pulled the tape back to me.
I tried that several times and just when I thought it wouldn't work,the tweeter came out.
Now it's (about 95%) as round as an eyeball again.
Next I fed my CDX with some Nils Lofgren - "Acoustic live" and also some jazzy/big band CD's with lots of trumpet,etc.....
WOW Now we're talking!
The Kan's were sounding crystal clear again,just as I rememberd 'em.
I started dancing from happiness.
Damn, I like long stories with a happy ending!
(sniff)
Thanx for all the support and advice guys!
I'm back in business again.
greetings,
Alco

Do ya think the little left over dents would still harm its performance ?
Well I prefer my tweeters dented
NOT!!!Let me let you into a secret, Katans stomp over Kans. You can either buy a pair or buy some Katan tweeters to replace your knackered ones. If you take the tweeter option then read Ron the Mon's posts on replacing Kan tweeters with Katan tweeters.

Woops, little misunderstanding here 
I did some hoovering on the dented tweeter, but to me it was more to try if it would pop out again,but now they should also be dustfree.
