If it’s the same tweeter I lived with for 5 years with the 800D2s … then it is kinda bright. Which was fine - to my ears, in my (very well damped, custom 2 channel/movie theater) room with LOTS of absorptive panels. Electronic and rock music were actually very good. Classical and acoustic were not as accurate as it could be. But it sure was fun.

The tweeter motor, surround and entire housing assembly changed form the D2 to the D3.
On the D4 they lengthened the tweeter housing and eliminated one of the magnets in an area behind the dome they claim to reduce resonance.
B&W also claims the tweeter is better isolated as compared to the D3 as they now have two isolated connection points versus only 1 on the D3.
Whether or not this truly makes an audible difference I don’t know.
The only thing you could say that has not changed from when the diamond tweeter was introduced is the dome itself.
