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!!!

Try calling B&W service, I believe, in Boston. Had an issue at one point with a tweeter,,,they agreed to replace sans fee.
"The tweeter shows an open on the ohmmeter. I'm not sure why it blew, I don't listen super loud. I'm running 500W from Wyred4sound amp."

The Diamond diaphram of these tweeters are physically very, very fragile. Just touching one can easily break it. The dealer here in town has had a couple broken by people taking off the "metal grill" and barely touching the element. So power or distortion might not be the culprit.

Just had to replace my shattered tweeter, $ 800.00 ouch!

more fragile than eggs, you don’t even get a kiss first.

802D.

anybody need a ZZ14265 tweeter core?
