Modification to Nautilus 802's

[georgev]

Hi Folks,
Couple of questions
1. Is it possible to replace the existing tweeter on the 802(current model) with the signature tweeter? Or is it not possible cos of the different xover. Is it as straightforward as just taking it off and putting the new one in?
2. Is there any sonic benefit to changing the nose cone in the mid range from the plastic one to the aluminium one(the one used in the N800)? or is this just psychoacoustics. I read in audioreview that it made a difference. Has anyone done that?
Thanks,
George.

I had heard that changing the bullet made a difference as well. The japanese actually make different ones to replace the factory bullet. My guess is that it stiffens the FST. I read somewhere that you can buy the aluminum one from your b&w dealer.

Check my Avtar for the mid-range bullet upgrade from Japan.

Thanks for that. So yours is ?Pebbles
Where did you get your bullet upgrade in Japan from? Did you order it from there? Could you let me know from where. What are your experiences with it.

You can always get the Copperhead upgrade from Japan.

Costly though.
