I just got my second pair of B&W N802's and like the first pair that got swapped out for this pair. They have flaws in the midrange driver shells. If you look at where the area around the yellow kevlar cone on the black shell is there is a cracking underneath the surface that is trianglar shaped. It is not visiable under all light conditions but once you see you cant help to notice it. If you also try with a flashlight directly on it you will see that it actually extends beyond the triangle. Anyway I dont know if I should live with or try for a third pair. Am I just getting bum pairs or is it just a manufacturing defect that is in all 802's and 801's..... please help...
I just looked at my 802s, 804s, and Htm 1. That pattern is present on all five. The location varies around the circle from speaker to speaker. It looks to be part of the manufacturing process. Jeff
