Nautilus
I lost a tweeter this weekend in my Nautilus 804 (N804). I have ordered a replacement ($144) and will attempt to repair myself.

Should be a fairly easy fix. Make sure you get a good seal on the cabinet going back together!

No idea Dan - I think too high of a level through an iPod. Tweeter is an easy repalcement - I don't even need to remove the Nautilus pod from the cabinet. The N804s are only 10 yrs old.

That's what I was wondering. All our talk about amps being able to double as an arc welder doesn't mean an arc welder can double as an amp

Would it be beneficial to replace both at the same time?

That's what I wondered. B&W would have matched them in the first place, but do they offer the tweeters as a matched pair for times like this?

I'd ask them.

I called B&W and was told the Nautilus model tweeters did not need to be matched. Plus, at $156 each shipped I was not ready to replace both for essentially my background music system. I can be cheap at times for those times I do not want to be cheap.

Sometimes there are subtle changes in design that could influence the balance between the two. I'm glad you called for reassurance.
