My child just knocked over my speaker and broke the housing and the whole tweeter on my N804. How do I go about replacing this item and what would the cost be for the part?
Thank you

Hi Rodh,
You would need to buy a new housing and tweeter from B&W,and get it installed by a suitable dealer.
I almost bought a pair of 803ds that had damaged tweeter units,and spoke to B&W about the cost of replacement.On the diamond series,it costs 500 uk pounds per unit,plus fitting costs.They refit the tweeter unit by first removing the mid-range unit,to get access.I guess it would need to be a qualified person to do this...804 Nautilus should hopefully cost considerable less that this.
I e-mailed B&W to get the cost and info,they were very helpful,so this would be the first step.second would be buying a pair of 800ds,i.e. too heavy to be knocked over!

The tweeter housing is in many pieces, the dome is completely crushed in.
Funny enough, I can still play it and sounds 'good' enough.
But, of course I need to replace it. The... -
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to this forum as well as to B&W loudspeakers. I purchased a demo pair of 802Ds from my local dealer and I have the following "problem".
The tweeters are obviously setup to float on top of the midrange housing. The issue is that they... -
Hi All,
I have had my beloved 804S for almost a year now. Today when cleaning the tweeter housing i noticed that one of my speakers has a significantly looser tweeter housing than the other.
On the first speaker the tension from side to side is snug yet flexible enough... -
Noticed that the black tweeter housing is less than 1/4" turned pointing to the left. Does anyone know how the black tweeter housing mounted to the cabinet and if its removable? I want to know if I will be able to straighten the housing out.
Thanks,
Tony
