B&W 802D problem

The tweeter in my 802D speaker has quit working. Can anyone tell me what the procedure is to diagnose the tweeter, or whether there is something else at fault? The tweeter itself is very expensive, and would like to isolate it before I buy a replacement. My dealer is 300 miles away, so I'd like to do whatever I can myself first. Thanks!!!

If you are up to the task, you might try swapping the tweeters in your 802Ds.

Kal, I'm a step ahead of you. Thanks for the reply. I found out how simple it is to swap the tweeters, and traded out with one of my 803Ds from my surround channels. It is the tweeter, and the ohmmeter confirms it. Now, is there a dealer who makes any deals on these bad boys?

I doubt it. OTOH, there is a parts website for B&W where you can look for the part and buy direct.

Hi, how are they broke? Did you give a lot of power?
