same answer you don't know what about you talk 🙂

1- the impedance ? if I change only the cap by the same value but just with an improvment of them there is no problem. the problem is for inductance not the caps. the cross over used on htm1D is the same as 800D.

2 yes the midrange is kevlar and it is the same driver for the 800Di, 802di and htm1D, no enhancement. the mid crossover for 800di has just new caps for improve sounds. I do the same as B&W

3 the crossover from the fisrt version of 80x (nautilus) is totally different of diamond version.

4 for the tweeter the enhancement of crossover is only the improve of cap from mcap mundorf at mcp mundorf silver gold oil.

--> please go to B&W Group North America Service & Support - Home and look the schema of crossover for 800D, 801D, 802D, HTM1D, 800D2, 802D2, you will see by yourself 🙂

for information I have 802D and 802Di and HtM1D at home, so I checked the right information of schema from b&w
crossover for bass : caps is the same for D and Di version
crossover for middle : just simple evolution of caps from mcap mundorf to mcap mundorf supreme
crossover for HF : mcap mundorf to mcap mundorf silver gold oil

I have a CD and the original booklet explaining the design of the 800D, and also auditioned a pair personally. My opinion is that the design is not good enough to reap the full benefits of good capacitors.

I founded this post.

I want to do the same with my htm1D (mundorf supreme silver/gold oil for tweeter and mundorf supreme for middle) to upgrade like 800D2 diamond crossover.

I ordered the caps.

Make sure you have matched them or know how to use them in each speaker (left/right) since probably you are not measuring your final results, as was posted. 🙂
They have low tolerances already any way.
