I hope you find someone who'll service your unit, or else the only thing you'll be enjoying is Independence Day.

Has anyone ever experienced a blown tweeter before?

I am going to take my blown tweeter to Best Buy and see if the Geek Squad can service my unit.
If you were listening at very loud volume it's very possible during a dynamic passage that you blew your speaker. I'm sorry to tell you this but Geek Squad is unlikely to have a fix for you. If the speaker is blown you are most likely going to have to get a new speaker to replace it. Or upgrade to a better set of speakers.

Was there a high-pitch shriek when your tweeter blew?

Only my left tweeter is blown - not the whole thing. The other Bose speaker is fine so I don't really want to replace both speakers. If the Geek Squad cannot help me with my blown tweeter, then I will go to some other place to get it serviced. I will only replace my blown tweeter. However, if my blown tweeter cannot be restored to full strength, only then will I consider getting a new set of speakers. I hope the Best Buy Geek Squad can come through and take care of my blown tweeter. I wonder how much they will charge for this type of service?

I actually hope that my pair are going to hang around for a few more years. If my blown tweeter can be yanked off and a new one screwed in then my tweeter should be back to full power.

Man, I don't know how you got the alien to screech like that, but do not let an alien blow your tweeter. At least I'm sure that's what the Geek Squad will tell you.

Yes, in therory. But will it timber match the other tweeter? What if the difference is so pronounced, it makes your system unbalanced or seem drab compared to the original tweeter still in place?

Well if the Geek squad at BestBuy can't help ya, then you could try taking your Blown Bose Tweeter to the Tweeter store if you have one near by.
