In my case i live in Indonesia (high humidity) so that must be related.

I live at the beach, so maybe it is related to high humidity. I've also had to order replacement grill strings since mine have lost their elasticity over time.

I have same problem with the grills. I heard you can send them to Sonus Faber and they fix it. DId you just buy new ones? How much if you dont mind me asking?

I contacted the fine folks at SF in Italy and they will be sending me a replacement set of the faceplates, at no charge. They did specify the problem may reoccur in a few years due to external factors like high humidity, but at least I should now have spares. They also explained that they have discontinued the soft material used on the Elipsa Red tweeter faceplates, so new products should no longer suffer from this issue. Very pleased with their service and dedication to their costumers!

I've been in touch with SF about the tweeter trims too, they directed me to Sumiko who will sell them to me for $40 each.

Hi all. New here.
I was searching on line looking for a solution to the ‘sticky Sonus Faber tweeter’ problem and came across this thread. I have a beautiful pair of SF Cremona Auditor M’s which I enjoy very much. I noticed however that the tweeter on one speaker had become distinctly ‘tacky’ and that micro dust particles were sticking. The tweeter on the other speaker is perfectly fine. There’s no high humidity or dampness in the room. To cut a long story short I used a small piece of lint-free fabric (100% polyester) dipped in methylated spirits and very carefully rubbed the surface of the tweeter faceplate. It solved the problem. No more stickiness or unsightly blotches. Both tweeters look identical again with perfect surfaces. Hope this helps. |
