Looks like my child's little fingers pushed in the twitters on both ProAc 1SCs. I vacuumed them out, but the shape remains irregular -- please see the picture.
Any ideas if this is fixable? And how damaging to the sound?
(I have not listened to these ProAcs for 10+ years. And don't know the room.)
Thanks for advice.

I guess I'm not as polite as everyone else so I'm going to go ahead and point out that high frequency drivers are called "tweeters."
Twitter is a social media application.
... No excuses, no BS about the room and other rubbish.
Hook em up and listen.
You will either think they sound fine or you will think they sound damaged.
No amount of speculative navel gazing from people on this forum can tell you how they sound to you. But you can know how they sound in a short amount of time with minimal effort.
Just do it!

I don't hear any distortions ... The tonal balance is fine too ...
The soundstage is not great ...
More likely a problem with something else (e.g., assymetric room) than a damaged twitter?
You are probably right. If everything except the soundstage sounds great then there is a room acoustics problem waiting to be solved. Or possibly, the speakers are wired up incorrectly?

... From your descript there is little to worry about.
Given you have said;
I have not listened to these ProAcs for 10+ years.
Why stress over if something is wrong? You don't hear any distortion, tonal balance is fine and you haven't listened to them over ten years.
If you want to be sure, buy two new tweeters, heck, buy two new speakers.
Other than a little bit of cosmetic wear on an old speaker I'm not sure what the problem is?

Try a hair dryer not too close
and if needed pull it out with a band aid.

If the fabric dome has been restored to it's intended shape and the tweeter surround has not been ripped or punctured, you should be all right. The damage to the outer foam facing is not critical either.
Thanks!
There are irregularities of the dome shape that are visible on the photo. The q was about them. I do not care much about outer foam ....
The "irregularities" in the photo look miniscule enough to not affect performance. No worries there, I think.
The final test is in the listening. "If you can't hear it, it don't matter."
