804 D5 Reference Floor-Standing Loudspeaker

Bowers & Wilkins 804 D5

REFERENCE LOUDSPEAKER

Perfect for those who want a breathtaking listening experience in a smaller footprint, the 804 D5 features the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond dome tweeter, housed in the iconic Tweeter-on-Top, for astonishing high-frequency precision. This is complemented by thier Continuum cone, located within an all-new Aluminium midrange enclosure, plus two Aerofoil bass drive units, rigidly mounted within the reverse-wrap cabinet. Stabilized on an upgraded plinth with tuned-mass damping, the 804 D5 reproduces clarity with breathtaking accuracy. Available in Stealth Black, Warm White, Light Walnut, and Dark Walnut, with matching Leather by Connolly trim, the 804 D5 looks and sounds incredible.

OPTIMIZED FOR PURE PERFPRMANCE

Every model in the new 800 Series Diamond range benefits from enhanced technology. An upgraded Matrix™ design reduces resonance and creates a more believable soundstage, while aluminium Space Frame Bracing and an all-new aluminium top section and midrange enclosure within the cabinet help deliver an even more spacious and immersive sound.

ULTIMATE DRIVE UNIT TECHNOLOGY

Pairing B&W's most advanced and innovative drive unit technology, the 804 D5 delivers their purest sound ever. The Diamond dome tweeter pushes break-up frequency to 70kHz, delivering exceptional clarity, precision and openness, and the Continuum™ cone delivers voices and instruments with lifelike detail.

CRAFTED TO BE BETTER BY DESIGN

The 800 Series Diamond looks this way for a reason. Its shape is dictated by the science of sound. The cabinets are formed from a single continuous curve, locked in place by a solid aluminium spine, so cabinet reflections are reduced. Complemented by the Tweeter-on-Top, musical performance is always as precise as possible.
