If that tweeter absolutely is for you, I would give B&W a try. If you don't ask, your answer already is "NO". You are correct, they may be unwilling to sell the parts to a person who does not own their speakers(and can provide them with a serial number and/or receipt). I would say that it is probably difficult to match that tweeter exactly in the ultra high end driver lines. The Nautilus is a metal dome, and will have certain characteristics/sound that most expensive tweeters of today(soft domes/Ti02/kevlar/ceramic/carbon) do not. Most metal dome tweeters have a harshness avoided by tweeters like the Morel soft dome you mentioned. Spend some time listening, you may find you like one tweeter over another. Then, you can have what you truly like the best.
Compare the Nautilus Tweeter to DIY
I'm looking at a three-way DIY kit to build, and am very interested in Zalytron's offerings. They can alter any kit plan according to the customers wishes. I need some suggestions as to which tweeter I could use that would come the closest to the B&W sound. My goal is to match or exceed the Nautilus 803. I've read about the Focal Tioxid and Morel's soft dome. My budget is about one thousand so the tweeter can't really cost more than a hundred or so. Any constructive ideas would be helpful.
Thank's!
