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

If he was given a pair (free), then they are definitely worth the expense to fix the woofers. They still fetch $3000 on the used market, if they're in perfect shape. Go the B&W website and get this Adobe brochure.

I would contact B&W about suggestions for replacing or repairing the woofers. You could also contact Miller Sound Labs in Pennsylvania about repairs.
