The 808's are incredible speakers (each one got a Matrix 801 within), so go to www.bwspeakers.com and ask for a woofer spare. In Spain each 12" woofer cost 500 (about $650) but maybe available in Cobex, not polymer (used in the Matrix 801 S2 and in your 808's). If you can find one in polimer, go for it! but in case you don't... you'll need to spend about $2.600 in spares. With a little luck, you'll find a polymer woofer in the second-hand market for sure! Good luck and enjoy your beasts!
B&W Series 80 808's
Hi,
anyone have info. on these? My Dad was given a pair, which I have not yet seen - one of them has both 12" woofers blown. He was told that at the time they were the "flagship" product of the series. Can anyone tell me about the quality/performance of these speakers (I only have experience with the Matrix line) and also any suggestions on how to repair them?
Thanks
