Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4

Description

The Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 stand-mount loudspeaker is the most compact model in the 800 Series Diamond™ range, but it’s still packed with advanced technologies, including the Diamond dome tweeter and the Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top.

805 D4 might be smaller than its floorstanding siblings, but it’s no lightweight: its beautifully constructed Reverse-Wrap cabinet, stiff aluminum bass pods and 165mm (6.5in) Continuum™ mid-bass cone afford it exceptional bass extension and scale for a relatively compact speaker.

One of Bowers & Wilkins most significant accomplishments over the past two decades, the ultra-stiff, supremely accurate Diamond dome tweeter is the perfect combination of low mass, exceptional stiffness and outstanding accuracy. 15 years after they introduced it, we dare you to find a better tweeter dome technology.

Their newest Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing features an elongated form with a longer tube-loading system, producing an even more free and open sound with high frequencies. The carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminum to better resist resonance.

The new reverse-wrap orientation of the cabinet on 805 D4 means B&W can place its sensitive crossover components inside, dedicated space within the cabinet, which has critical benefits to both performance and serviceability. They’ve taken the opportunity to upgrade the speaker terminals, too.

Innovation is at the heart of everything  Bowers & Wilkins does. They question, examine, understand and then they evolve. Bowers & Wilkins uses computer modelling to explore and reimagine every aspect of loudspeaker design. The stands shown are sold separately.
