Replacement tweeters for B & W speakers

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

I have owned a pair on B & W Nautilus 802 speakers for a number of years and am quite satisfied with their performance. Even compared to some of the latest and greatest recommended in the mags and the shows, I find the 802's to provide a very natural, liquid and tonally accurate reproduction. My only reservation -- fall-off of bass contenten below 100 cycles -- was well remedied through the addition of a quality sub-woofer. And now the resulting measurements are pretty much flat line across the frequency spectrum.

My question: Would it be possible to improve the 802's performance even more if I could find a way to upgrade the installed dome tweeters? (They are easily replaceable, as I discoved when a blew one of them.) Replacing them with the tweeters from a later model is complicated by cross over and other design differences. But I would be interested in knowing if any there are any upgraded versions, specifically designed to enhance the performance, the 802 made by any OEM manufacture?

Thanks.
