Dings on B&W 802 tweeters


Do anyone know if dings are harmful to the tweeter of a B&W 802 speaker, if the sound is not affected? If so can it be repaired?

Lmk47, Sorry if this sounds shakey, but honestly I cannot remember exactly what I did. It has been about 5 years since I sold those M803SII speakers (and I have regretted selling them more than a few times). Anyway, it would be hard for me to explain without a pair in front of me. I believe I had a little coaching from the dealer who sold me the replacement tweeter, then I sort of went at it gently until I got the old one out and put the new one back in the same way. My best recollection is that you take the front screen part off, then the guts can be popped out from the front of the cylindrical chamber. The wires are connected with some type of snap on quick connect. I suspect whoever you purchase a tweeter replacement from would assist you, but I know dealers and manufacturers from large companies can be funny about people who DIY repairs. Try you local dealer first to see if he can kindly help you. Then, if he doesn't help, post on this forum since I am sure there are several folks here who can actually help, and not guess like I am doing. Good luck.
The tweeter apparatus on my N805 just plugs in, no soldering.
Are the 802s the same?
Buy a replacement and you will see what is needed to install.
I just replaced the Nautilus Tweeter on an 803. I ordered the Tweeter from B&W USA, it was $98-delivered. It's very easy to replace. Just turn the front part of the Tweeter Housing counter-clockwise (it's treaded) and it will come loose, then gently pull it forward and disconnect (unplug) the red (1) & black (1) wires. I was surprised at how inexpensive and easy it was to replace. The cone on my Tweeter was also pushed-in, by a curious child, of course.
