I have a pair of B&W 801 series 2 and one speaker's crossover over load and burned (a round orange coil) is this repair able? any information will be very appreciates. I'm living in Chicago. Thanks in advance, guy25

**Of course it's repairable. I can't help you with the value of the part,
but it would be simple enough to examine the other speaker and measure the
good part.

Have you checked the driver as well?

Sure, if he can actually measure the inductance, which is doubtful if he had
to ask the question in the first place. (wire gauge and coil resistance is
easier of course)
May be easier just to contact B&W or their local agent for spares?

No , it's not repairable. Send the speakers to me.

Actually, of course it is repairable. But given the value of the speakers
would contact B&W for a local service agent, and a source of the genuine
spare part.

First of all I'd like to thanks everybody in this forum so friendly and helpful. I removed the L1 coil and inspected, it turn out O.K but the 3 Ceramic resistor next to it was got over heated. It's: R1=0R47-7W , R3=5R6-7W and R4=8R2-7W. Please take a look at the speaker diagram. I'm sorry, can not paste the Diagram here. I have been trying Google for these resistor with out success. Does anybody here know where to buy it please let me know. Thanks again, Guy25

You'd certainly have trouble finding generic 7 Watt resistors, but 10 Watt
parts should be readily available, and less likely to fail again.
In case you don't already know, those are 0.47ohm, 5.6 ohm and 8.2 ohm, and
are common values.

hmm ... yes, but resistors are cheaper than loudspeaker-units, so perhaps it
is worth making an extra effort to find some.

A wise and helpful translation.
