Diamond vs Aluminum tweeters for B&W 800 series


Anyone swapped their Diamond tweeter for the Aluminum?

I want to know if anyone heard both to tell us the real difference.

I have a shattered tweeter on my 803 D2 and having difficulty on buying new ones.

Diamond is rated aprox. 900usd each.  Aluminum you can find around 450usd the pair.

I’ve had both. I had the 801 Nautilus speakers with aluminum Tweeters

Now I have the newest diamond tweeters on the latest 801 reference 

build dates on the speakers are 23 years apart so I am definitely hearing more than just diamond versus aluminum but the newer diamond ones are better

You are in luck I actually have a pair of brand new aluminum tweeters from Bowers in the box that I kept as backups and I no longer need them so if you private message me, I’ll give them to you if you will just pay for shipping

I think they they are the same tweeters as the 802, but you might wanna check that just to make sure
