Newly Acquired L-100 Centuries

[GTekie]

I have just acquired a pair of L-100 Centuries for my collection and have ordered new foam grills and tweeter rings, my question is, has anyone used the glue on domes for the tweeters ? One has a very slight dimple. Do these glue on domes interfere with the tweeter in any way ? Thanks in advance for any info on this.

It seems likely that they would add mass to the tweeter, probably causing it's response to change.

I have seen the dimples carefully pulled out with suction. Use a stout drinking straw and use a vacuum pump or vacuum cleaner. Rig it so that you can control the amount of suction by using a leaky connection... hard to avoid anyway.:D

My thoughts exactly about adding mass to the dome. Another question, are the badges metal or plastic ? I see plastic repros on the bay.
Again, thanks in advance.

The originals badges were metal with Velcro® hooks glued on the back.

Thanks T.D. , any idea where I can source a pair ?Btw the wife says they don't sound as nice as the L-166s. Must be the tweeter.

I believe these are what you want.
