The official
US retail price for a tweeter for 800 D2 / 802 D2 (part number ZZ14388) is
USD 1086.
I owned a pair of 800 D2 for seven years and run them on Accuphase power amps (P-800, after two years replaced by A-200).
In June 2014 I broke one tweeter mechanically (by stumbling and falling against it). The pretty thin diamond diaphragm was shattered into pieces.
My dealer charged me Swiss Francs 667 (which I think was what
he had to pay for) and came to replace it personally. That's what I call customer service!
The above mentioned incident was the only one with a tweeter.
However in 2016 and 2018 I had to replace a total of three bass units (LF02372; USD retail 486.53; my dealer charged me Swiss Francs 350 each) because of partly broken diaphragm suspensions (beads).
I do not know whether I damaged them by occasionally dusting them off not sufficently carefully or whether it was an environmental / thermal / aging problem.
Hope you will find the cause of your problem soon.
