Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Standmount Loudspeakers: Experience Excellence, Evolved

The Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 standmount loudspeaker represents the culmination of Bowers & Wilkins' expertise in crafting high-fidelity audio experiences. Each generation of the 800 Series Diamond marks a significant advancement, and the 805 D4 is no exception. Despite being the most compact model in the series, it integrates an array of cutting-edge technologies to deliver exceptional sound quality.

Unmatched Sonic Performance

  • Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top™: This innovation creates an incredibly free and open soundscape, particularly in the high frequencies. The meticulously decoupled housing, milled from a solid block of aluminum, minimizes resonance for pristine audio.
  • Matrix™: This bracing system utilizes interlocking panels to reinforce the cabinet walls internally in all directions. This significantly reduces resonance and fosters a more realistic soundstage.
  • Diamond Dome Tweeter: The exceptional stiffness-to-lightness ratio of diamond makes it the ideal tweeter material. B&W's diamond domes deliver unparalleled acoustic detail, unmatched naturalism, and a spacious sound character.
  • Continuum™ cone: This innovative cone avoids the abrupt performance shifts that can plague conventional drive units. The result is a more open, neutral performance that reproduces voices and instruments with remarkable precision and transparency.

Advanced Engineering for Uncompromised Audio

  • Aluminum Top-Plate: Every 800 Series Diamond speaker boasts a significantly upgraded cabinet design, featuring a completely new aluminum top section for enhanced rigidity. This design also provides a perfect platform for the luxurious black leather or light gray leather cabinet detailing by Connolly.
  • Rear-Mounted Crossover: The 800 Series Diamond line now features rear-mounted crossovers, housed on sturdy aluminum spines. This isolates sensitive capacitors from air pressure variations within the enclosure and functions as a highly effective heatsink for optimal performance during use.
  • Reverse Wrap Cabinet: Instead of a conventional flat-fronted speaker with a curved back, Bowers & Wilkins utilizes a single, continuous curve cabinet design secured by a solid aluminum spine. This minimizes junctions for a more rigid and inert structure. The curved front minimizes baffle diffraction around the drive units, resulting in improved sound dispersion and reduced cabinet reflection.

The Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 standmount loudspeakers are the embodiment of cutting-edge technology and acoustic mastery. They are a perfect choice for discerning audiophiles seeking an unparalleled listening experience.

Great speaker

This speaker had a really solid build adds great looks to any room. The sound these speakers give off are holographic and casts a spacious soundstage. Lots of space between the instruments and being able to locate positions in the recording feel very natural with this speaker. The diamond dome tweeter in the D4 has been improved over the D3 and tames the issues that series had in the past. Highly recommended
