Badly painted genelec 8030

Youngling Viestejä: 2 Liittymispäivä: 27.2.2018 Viimeisimmät viestit

Hi!

I recently bought a pair of genelec 8030 monitors (used). I knew condition was rough from the pictures and sellers description, but he assured me that sound quality was not affected. But after receiving the speakers i noticed that the tweeter grill holes were covered by paint. 1/4 on one side and little less on the other side. Treble is definetly more muffled on the worse side but im worried that the "better" side is affected too because i can see paint residue on the tweeters. 

Sorry for the long and bad explantion but my question is:

How sensitive are the tweeters? Do they need to be replaced and can they be replaced? 

Regards  

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,

It is hard to estimate without pictures. Could you please fill service enquiry from link below, and attach pictures of the tweeter and I'll get back to you soon via e-mail.
