B&W 802D problem

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?

Not under warrenty ... warrenty is 5 years p&l

"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.

Wow, free would be a good price. I'll try calling them. 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.

$1147 list price for a replacement tweeter. Ouch!!!

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.

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

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

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?

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