This idea of using a needle to pull out the dent works fine for *soft* dome tweeters, but the (presumably well-intentioned) poster didn't realize that your tweeters are *metal* domes.

Do *not* take a needle to these!

You can live with these without any problems, as I've never heard or measured any difference from a small dent. Basically it is just a cosmetic problem. Some tweeters are easily disassembled and the diaphragm removed. In this case, you can push the dent out from the inside, but there will always be a visible remanent of the original dent.

Good luck,
