How to fix B&W 800's?


My Dad inherited some B&W 800's from a friend (I am told this is the model number). One of the woofers on one speaker is blown (and has been removed). What is the best way to go about repairing them? Can you still get the drivers?
I have never seen these - not in pictures even; they are obelisk shaped (not the Matrix 800's) I am told. Can anyone speak to the quality/performance of these speakers in addition to the above? About when were they sold?

Thanks

I suggest you just call B&W @ (978)664-2870. Just ask for the service department. They can tell you if the drivers are available or not. Perhaps even consult a tech. for you on a possible replacement if they don't have any.

I actually needed to get some pricing for some replacements parts of a speaker that was damaged in transit a while back and man, were they helpful!! The service department went WAY overboard to help me. They even fax'd me a quote within 5 minutes of hanging up the phone. I believe the person I talked to was Todd, but I can't remember for sure (it can't hurt to ask.)

Good luck.
