Does anyone know what the purpose of the raising and lowering tweeters is for? For example, are they made out of something that extended UV exposure/high temps would cause to deteriorate? Or is it just for the purposes of being a crowd pleaser and making you feel like the $6k you spend on it was worth it?

If I'm honest, I'd be pretty pissed off if I'd paid nearly $7k for the B&O system we're talking about here, I personally think it sounds pretty **** tbh, nothing like $7k worth...
And at $7k and only 45k miles, one of my tweeters in the dash is stuck and at least one of my door speakers, maybe more, is farting away like a good'un, I'm assuming it's **** itself and blown, I haven't got round to investigating yet..
I just got rid of a 4.8i X5 to buy my S8 and the sound system in that absolutely pissed all over the B&O system and still went back for seconds...
However, I do prefer the S8 as a car overall but I'm pretty fed up that I have to suffer the inferior sound system, even more so that it's supposed to be the flagship sound system...
Can't have everything I guess...!!

Trouble with me is I usually end up doing more harm than good if I ever try to repair anything and I'm pretty/very limited with the amount of people I'd trust to even do an oil change on my car here, let alone anything else...!!
Wonder what main dealer will charge to replace the door speakers lol...

Door speakers are not hard. You can do that. If you get elsawin it will tell you exactly what to do and as long as you are used to doing as you're told you can't go wrong. I even think my other half could do that quite easily.

I'm just **** at fixing cars and even if i were any good, I don't really have the time...
I'd rather just get someone who knows what they're doing to fix it...!!
