Yes i may have started this thread from the opposite direction.

My question was simple, if someone have dun any similar before

I think you would have to change much more than just the tweeter to gain a good result. Not sure it is so easy to do. For example you would probably need new amps.

Sounds like a very big project. Perhaps there is tweeters that can take its place without much adjustments but I can't tell how natural the sound would be. I think the tweeters in BL8000 sound quite good. Have they even changed between marks? The 8002 maybe? Since it incorporates icepower amps.

Or how about new bl18 that also uses dsp extensively to make it sound as good as it can?

I haven't done any mod work on the speaker drivers in this
particular model but I have on several others - always ending with the
same result; What was in there originally, was the best.
Keep in mind, that lots of drivers were custom produced to B&O because some
really odd specs were required.

Sometimes an improvement can be achieved by replacing capacitors to other types but
it is my experience that the major part of the improvement comes from simply replacing tired
capacitors with fresh ones, rather then replacing standard capacitors with ones of a more
shiny and expensive type.
Expected lifespan will typically be longer for foil caps than for electrolytics though, which
may be cause enough for some owners to choose them over standard components but
I never saw replacement speaker drivers do any better than the originals in any B&O.

Thanks for all input.

I will update this thread when i am in progress with the build.

The amps/drivers/filters will be replaced.

A conclusion might be, that noone has done this so far.

We wish BeoLab good luck with his project of making a new speaker using the aluminium part of a BL8000......

....and we are looking forward to hear of the results here.

Period!

I agree, good luck, and interesting to see the project. Even tough I think the biggest issue with sound is that our ears fade as we grow older.

This thread made me want to try again too fix the bad pair of BL8000 I have, they start to sound strange after a few hours. New capacitors will be my first shot at fixing it. 

Maybe you get strange after a few hours...😎

The OP will probably like them no matter how they turn out, parents don't usually notice if their baby is ugly. I've seen this in the DIY speaker crowd more times than I can count...some guy mates a 15 inch woofer with a piezo tweeter, just horrendous sounding. The creator was certain that it sounded great if you just played it LOUD ENOUGH!!! 😁

Beovirus victim, it's gotten to be too much to list!

Sounds like when I'm cooking food. Everything tastes great then 😁.

😂 you are so funny when you are making jokes about my incompetence and stupid idea, i can barley take it any more 😂

You are speaking against your self when you say that it is only you and your supporters who can judge if something sounds good or bad!

I have bin into "HiFi" sins twenty-five years now, and have a good reference to what is good or bad, trust me on that..

What about your system? It must be the best sounding system ever existed?

B&O is a quality lifestyle brand with decent performing products, but far from the pinnacle of the upper HiFi scale, with no limit un-compromised solutions and components.

If you know so much about sound engineering , then my big question is why do you own B&O and hanging around at Beoworld ??

Have a nice weekend and thanks for all of your encouragement and support, it warms my hole body.
