    B&W damaged tweeters - What's the cause?

    I have a setup of 602s - front towers, back bookshelves, center channel and sub. Both the front tower 602s have damaged tweeters (image enclosed). Is there any way these tweeters were damaged simply by normal usage (i.e. they were blown) or would this have to have been physical damage (i.e. someone poked them). I had someone staying in my house for an extended period and subsequently noticed this damage to the tweeters. There was no other damage to any other speaker.

    Thanks for your experienced input.

    Looks to me like someone poked them. Were there children or pets in the house at any point?

    If they were blown the voice coils inside would be damaged, but the domes would still be intact (possibly some heat related effects would be visible).

            Thanks guys! That's what it looked like to me but I don't know enough about speaker architecture to know if there was any other explanation. Cheers.
