Hi Sean,

That scratch or dent you're seeing in the tweeter dome is counted as a blemish, likewise a scratch on a woofer cone--but rest assured they are sonically indistinguishable from the 1st run speakers not sold in the FO.

Those blemishes on the tweeter or woofer do not affect dispersion, frequency response, or timbral uniformity. The sound is unaffected.
