B&W 802s111 tweeter repair?

Switch out tweeters in your speakers and see if the problem follows the tweeter. If it does not, it's probably the crossover and it will need to be repaired or replaced. If the problem does follow the tweeter, then get a replacement tweeter.

Or try switching your speaker cable to your amp. before taking out the tweeters.

If you remove the midrange driver you will be able to see the cable going to the tweeter. On the cable there is a small plug allowing easy replacing of the tweeter unit. It could be that the plug is corroded or dirty. Try cleaning the plug with alcohol and see if this will not remove the problem..

You don't have to take the midrange driver out to replace the tweeter. The tweeter grill will "twist" off. Then if you gently push the aluminum loading tube from the back the tweeter will just fall out. You can unhook the connections (noting which color is + and which is -), Reconnect the new tweeter and put (twist) the grill back on. It is that simple. The problem with taking the midrange out is that you need some special tools.

Hope this helps.
