B&W 802D tweeter replacement
I might be a bit late in the game but I had the same problem. Though I would definitely prefer the original B&W Diamond tweeters I could not afford the replacement which is CAD$1600 for one. So I was researching and found a German Company selling tweeters close to the electrical specs of the original https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Ground-Zero-Gzut-25SQX/dp/B0194BSSAE. Don't get me wrong this is a silk dome tweeter and is not playing in any league with the original one. Anyway I got them landed into Canada for under CAD200 a pair. I had measured impedance of the original and they are slightly smaller than what's needed for fitting it into the tweeter tube. So 3d printing to the help I printed an adapter ring for the housing and a thread adapter to screw it back into the tube. Electrical connector are the same. All in all I m very pleased with the result and for consistency I changed both speakers over at the same time. Then I measured the speakers with the Dirac room correction software and they were really close to the original ones I had measured before whit an actually smoother transition at high pass cut off frequency. After applying room correction I think I can't tell the difference. Although emotionally I think I lost the sparkle of the original ones. |
