Due to a fault in one of my Naim 135 power amps a tweeter was blown in one of my 802 Nautilus speakers. I got the replacement from B & W and fitted it, now all good. Should I replace the other (good but original ) one or leave as is? Many thanks for any advice !!

IMO, do not do anything unless you detect or, better still, measure important (i.e irksome) response differences between the two drive units.
Chances are differences, if any, will be impreceptible in practise.

There are differences between new drive units even when new.

That said, I am only a hobbyist having participated in designing and building home-grown, simple, speakers!
