Hmmm, no the cone should be smooth, there's often a little ridge where the cone meets the dust cap in the center of the driver so maybe that's what you are feeling?
I can tell you that the carbon fiber weave that the drivers are made out of is pretty strong and I've never heard of a cone cracking before, but I suppose there's a first time for everything.
If there isn't any buzzing or distortion from the speaker and it's performing normally then I personally wouldn't worry about it. But if you think that it requires repair feel free to give us a call at 888-880-8992 or shoot us an email at customerservice@aperionaudio. Thanks!
