The 803D are awesome speakers that mostly even where rated better than their bigger brothers not because of their better performance just because of their price to performance level....the 803 D where the entry into the 800 diamond world while still affordable. When i rememer correctly then they where the smallest speakers with diamond tweeter in the 800 D lineup. The smaller speaker didnt have diamont tweeter, at least as i bought my 803 D . Still awesome speakers today i think. These speakers where arround 8000€ a pair with all the 800 series technology on board, just compare that to todays prices of the 800 D4 series.
Hello, I need new bass units for my 803Ds. I can not find the actual bass unit (LF00531) anywhere on-line. I'm wondering whether I can substitute for another B&W bass unit. I've asked B&W but they discourage substitute. When asked should I throw the speakers away they said well you can try and see. And suggested the best to try might be the 802D bass unit which is part LF00167. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Unfortunately if there are no NOS parts available, you may be out of luck. Depending on where you are, you may be able to find someone to repair the driver. What's wrong with it exactly?
Many people need to disassemble B&W N803 twitter for maintenance. Can you help us? We know that you did on twitter 803"D" but they are different in their engineering. TY

2:01 agreed. 804 and 802 were always an easy sale, 803 were not.
The bass driver looks very robust & solid with a good size magnet.
