Hi George,

You may be able to pull them out using tape. That is sellotape then gently pull .They should pop out like
a dented car panel. My understanding is these domes really protect moving coil from dust so should not affect sound. Worst case swop the tweeter.
Ive just bought a pair of revolution 3 with same "fault" so I will let you know how I get on .I am in Electronics trade as profession. It may be possible to gently remove dome using a surgical blade then popping out and gluing on with PVA / Latex glue coloured with black ink if you dont like white appearance.

It is sometimes possible to pull out using fine sewing needle push in then gently pull out as if removing a spell from your finger.

Hope this helps

I've heard of dented dustcaps being repaired with tape, or a needle and a bit of glue (to stick on and pull back out)

Good luck!

Nice speaker.

    had the same problem with an mx3 and a middle one, and i could really hear the sound difference between the good and the bad one. I used a 29 gauge needle pushed in just bellow the centre of the dome, then basicly pulled them out, the sound is perfect again :-)

Tannoy v1 reduced brightness from one tweeter, diagnose? replace? honestly unsure if broken tweeter is the duller one or the brighter one, help?
I assume you have more than one of these speakers. If so simply remove the tweeters from the two speakers and swap them around. If the other speaker acts up then, you know the tweeter is faulty. However if it stays on the same speaker it's the crossover that's the problem.

Just bought second hand Mercury MX4-M in visibly good condition. Very little dust visible on cabinet and cones behind the grills. On closer inspection I can see one of the tweeters have oily substance...
The oily coating you see is a damping compound applied by the company to make the sound smooth and less edgy or harsh.Cheaper speakers most of the time sound bright and progressing on to a Hi Fi speakers take time getting used to.In the long run you will realize you will get lesser ear fatigue listening to good Hi Fi speakers .
One test to confirm if the tweeters are working all right is to play a blank FM channel with the FM mute released ( FM mode on Mono ). Turn up the Amplifier volume and you will hear a loud hiss ( like standing next to a waterfall ). Turn the balance control towards each speaker and see if they sound identical.
Next remove the grill and cup the dome tweeter with your hand with out touching the dome itself to block the hi frequency sound, it should sound dull. And when you remove your hand should sound hissy and sharp.Try to do this with the balance control turned towards your speaker.
Sound is very subjective and personnel like taste, don't let anybody talk you into deciding which is better for you.

What is the best configuration for wiring the Tanny MX3 speakers? i note they can be split at the back??
In audio, beauty is in the ear of the beholder.

If you're NOT bi-amping or bi-wiring them, leave the jumpers on.

Unless you were already stating with junk for electronics there is not a lot of evidence that either of those schemes would result in anything audibly superior, but they WILL cost more due to the expense for extra amplifier channels and boutique speaker wire.

Google it.

Only bass driver working on the pair. tweeter and mid range cones not working.
hi,
check the tweeter and mid range. its coil may become faulty.
for checking the speakers carefully remove the speakers one by one, remove its connections.
and check the speakers with a AAA cell. is it producing cracking sound. if not the speakers coils are burned.
ok

If you found second hand 605s you can swap entire sub speaker. Your other option is check your local yellow pages for a pro audio repair shop that does re-coning. Re-coning is a specialty operation and it's not a procedure for the novice. You can also check online for re-coning services.

Replacement tweeters for Eyris 1
If any new readers are seeking the same advice, then as at Feb 2016, replacements are available from Real Electronics in the UK, 08452 307 747 - this info from the service line at Tannoy. £63.21 + VAT + delivery. Part no 7900 0621

Much of the advice above is not applicable to the Eyris, folks seem to be posting generic solutions.

Unbolt the hex bolts at the rear of the tweeter assembly. With a screwdriver or similar, push the threaded rods forward to move the front portion of the tweeter housing free from the cabinet. The amount of flexibility in the cables may vary, and some users may have to remove the terminal block (hex bolts again) on the rear, and remove the acoustic wadding to gain flex in the cables.

There are three terminals on the tweeter, with push-fit spade connections. Green for Earth, red/black for signal. Disconnect these, pull tweeter forward, remove threaded rods.

Reassembly is the reversal of removal. Ensure all cables go in same places, etc. etc.

I brought a pair of tannoy sensys dc1 bookshelfs a couple of years back and always thought i needed an extra cable for the super tweeter as i saw wires for it else where. but lately as i went to sell them...
On the images on Google for them there are no extra wires. Where are the wires on them? Do all the drive units work?
If the wires are for the super tweeter. Then looking around at the Google images it should be possible to unscrew the 4 screws holding the tweeters on top and you should be able to push the wires back inside the unit, if they are not connected to anything. Or at least see where they do connect.
