Introducing the Bowers & Wilkins 800 D5 Diamond Series

The Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top & Diamond Dome

The signature profile of the 800 Series isolates the high frequencies entirely from the main cabinet structure. Milled from a single, solid block of aluminum, this elongated tube-loading system houses the extraordinarily stiff, accurate Diamond Dome tweeter. By decoupling this assembly, cabinet diffraction and internal energy paths are completely eliminated.

The Iconic Turbine Head Enclosure

Featured on the reference tier floorstanders (801, 802, and 803), the Turbine Head is an all-aluminum midrange housing. Its heavily dampened, biological teardrop shape prevents internal standing waves and completely separates the crucial midrange frequencies from the massive air pressure generated by the bass drivers below.

Continuum™ FST Cone & Biomimetic Suspension

Midrange realism is handled by the woven Continuum composite cone. Swapping traditional fabric spiders for a minimal, open-element Biomimetic Suspension, Bowers & Wilkins dramatically reduces unwanted air pressure variations and mechanical noise. The result is unparalleled vocal clarity and transparent transient response.

Advanced Space Frame Bracing & Matrix™ Skeletal Core

True sound adds nothing and takes nothing away. To make a cabinet entirely inert, the interior features interlocking structural panels known as Matrix Bracing. The latest generation introduces parallel Space Frame aluminum bracing rails that bolt directly to the back of the cabinet spine, locking down cabinet resonance.

Aerofoil™ Profile Bass Cones & Curved Reverse-Wrap Cabinet

Low frequencies demand rigidity without weight. The Aerofoil bass cones use a variable-thickness design, keeping maximum stiffness exactly where the physical forces are greatest. These drivers are mounted into single-piece solid aluminum pods clamped directly into the ultra-stiff, curved Reverse-Wrap wooden cabinet shell.
