B&W 802D tweeter replacement

$2200 is a small price to pay for a pair of 802Ds (assuming you like the sound!), so my suggestion is to grin and bear the premium of the original part. B&W makes their own drivers, so anything you try to replace the original with will be a deviation from the design and would require changes to the crossover (definitely) and the cabinet (likely).

I don’t see a remotely acceptable option other than writing the check for $2200.

Good luck!

As is, you'll have a better chance selling them. As soon as you mod them the value will drop.

Alternatively of course is looking on EBay for speakers with the same tweeter.

Best,

See if you can get the non D version it should fit physically whether the crossover will be right is another story.  Good Luck sincerely but I do agree the $2,200 for those speakers is a great deal  perhaps you can sell them as is.

Thanks for the info--very helpful.  I totally agree that $2200 is a great deal for the speakers. And I got a bunch of other equipment to create a really good system. I'm grateful for that and don't want to sell it so don't really care about resale. But spending a couple of thousand bucks on audio equipment wasn't exactly in the family budget before all this gear rained down on me and it still isn't...so I just want to figure out my most sensible move is.   I really like the way it sounds just the way it is, actually, and am happy to own this equipment for the rest of my life.

And the diamond part of these tweeters is intact--it's just the mylar (or whatever it is) membrane that was poked out. It would be great if I could just find a way to fix them. And if not, maybe I'll try mechans very economical suggestion (thanks!).
