I have a pair of Elipsa's (non-SE) with the same problem. Mine came with leather conditioner, which I've only used on the leather. The leather is fine but the tweeter surround has become tacky to the touch. I spoke with a rep from SF who suggested wiping it with paint thinner to take the aging material off.
There is no way I'm doing that!
My dealer offered to contact SF for a replacement pair of tweeters but I haven't pursued it since they sound fine....maybe someday.
