How does the front of that thing come off? Is the whole front of the speaker plastic? or is it just a plate the tweeter mounts to and the woofers are mounted to the rest of the cabnet?

Seems like Jamo dropped his quality on it's last speakers...I was just listening some techno music a little louder and suddenly highs got down and realized one of tweeter's dome was a little out of it's normal position,,, when i push it a little sound turns back as its normal stage but if i give it a little volume, it goes out again....anyway it's going to service for replacement..but i never had any issues with my 10 year old jamo bx100 speakers despite using it at much higher loads...
btw this tweeter really looks cheap

I hope thats an error, cause the jamo site says that each tower is 33lbs

You're missing the point. Yes the tweeter is blown. And we all know that happenes with every manufactor out there. All brands occassionally have a small percentage of defects, here and there.
The main point is the Tweeter itself. Look at it. Take a good, long look at it.
It's a piece of garbage. It's an embarrassment that Jamo would use such dirt cheap, trashy Tweeter in the S606.
Look at the S606. They designed those speakers to look all fancy, glossy, high class. Yet, the tweeter is the type ultra low grade cr*p they use in dirt cheap car stereos. Even worse. It looks like one those cr*ppy tweeters they use in cheap mass market boomboxes or shelf boomboxes, made by Coby or Phillips or RCA or Sony for Wal-mart and K-mart.
That's where the issue lies.

I won't argue that it's a sub par tweeter but let's point out again what Paul Scarpelli has said. It's price point is a good value for the money. We wouldn't be here discussing quality if the tweeter hadn't blown in the first place

So I see the real issue the OP has is the blown tweeter.

BS. What Paul pointed out was the whole set. That set included a cheap center and cheap surrounds. As the OPer said the towers sell for $600/pr. While not a lot of money, I would expect a better tweeter than what is pictured. I agree with the poster the tweeter is a piece of garbage.
