Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 speakers are legendary, but don't sleep on the next step down, the mighty 802 D4. At substantially less money, it performs similarly except in the deep bass. You'll love it!

Topic Description: Built to similar proportions as the flagship 801 D4, the 802 D4 offers much of the performance of its sibling, including the same Turbine™ Head enclosure for its midrange drive unit, yet is more affordable overall. 802 D4’s svelte proportions and beautiful painted or real-wood-veneer finishes make for an elegant living-room companion, that doesn’t compromise on performance. Perfect for reference-grade stereo listening and an excellent choice in home theater applications. Aerofoil bass cone technology remains an outstanding solution to the conundrum of combining low mass and high stiffness in bass cones, thanks to its carbon-fiber skin and variable-profile foam core. A foam Anti-Resonance Plug ensures lower distortion and even cleaner bass. Every stereo model in the new 800 Series Diamond™ range has a significantly upgraded cabinet with an all-new aluminum top-plate. This also provides a perfect mounting point for all-new Leather by Connolly trim, with luxurious black leather for dark cabinets and light grey for lighter finishes. Like its tower speaker siblings in the new range, 802 D4 has a dedicated midrange cone using three key Bowers & Wilkins technologies: the Continuum™ cone, Biomimetic Suspension and midrange decoupling, the latter ensuring minimal interference from the operation of the loudspeaker’s bass drivers. Innovation is at the heart of everything Bowers & Wilkins does: question, examine, understand and then evolve. Computer modelling helps to explore and reimagine every aspect of loudspeaker design. Learn more about all the technologies that combine to make 800 Series Diamond so special.
