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.

perfect.
the diamond tweeters are zz14388

the best part of the video is: received the tweeter with zero cost.

It would be interesting to see how your proposed Morels measure with the stock B&W crossovers. My guess is that it won’t be flat. Whether you prefer the experimental outcome or not is purely subjective….

they were not proposed, just a random find

to clarify the idea, and in the case of those special tapered bullets, B&W owners have fewer options, the OP's question made much more sense when I paid more attention,

DIAMOND? Aluminum? and I found Silk/Titanium?

If mine, I would thank the member for his kind offer, switch to them, expect excellent sound, be happy without seeking the idea of imagined perfection.

and buy a pair of those silk/titanium parts for $28. for the future.

nick,

I just remembered the photo of your system after the lightning strike 1-1/2 years ago,

and now I realize how deep the ash on the floor is, didn’t realize how much of the speakers, rack, ....  were below the apparent floor surface.

I applaud your generosity to the OP, hope you are all able to sleep thru a storm!

I never clicked enough comments back then to see the other photo of the ac system
