B&W 802D tweeter replacement
At the online B&W parts store, the tweeter for the 800D series is available as a separate part, SKU 14265: http://www.bwgroupusa.com/bwgroup-parts/index.php/bw/speakers/800-series/800d-series/803d/800d-tweet... It is priced at $1086. Not much cheaper, but full replacements are now $1300. |
If you can’t afford OEM tweeters, buy the tweeters anyway, bring the speakers back to spec, sell the speakers at a discount to market rates (assuming the rest of the speakers are in minty condition) and take the proceeds (minus the cost of the tweeters) and buy yourself a speaker you can afford (and perform the way the designer intended). They’ll move quickly. You’ll be waiting a long time for “used” tweeters to hit the market, and anything other than OEM will take the speaker out of spec, and, unless you are dishonest, will never sell should you choose to move on. |
I totally agree with Nrenter - get em fixed right, sell em’ for 5 grand or so and take the $2800 net profit to get what ever fits your needs - hell you could probinly get 3k for the as is and let the next owner fix them- personally, I paid 2500 for a pair of less than mint N802’s and feel like I scored - I would be delighted to be into a pair of 892d’s for the cost of replacing the tweeters - |
