Description
The Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 bookshelf speaker is the most compact model in the 800 Series Diamond, but it still packs advanced technology, including a Diamond dome tweeter in a solid, separate enclosure on top of the speaker.
Product information
The 805 D4 may be smaller than its floor-standing cousins, but it’s no slouch either: a beautifully engineered reverse-curved cabinet, rigid aluminium cones and a 165mm (6.5”) Continuum™ mid/woofer deliver exceptional low-frequency response and scale for a relatively compact speaker.
One of Bowers & Wilkins’ most significant achievements in the last two decades, the ultra-rigid, ultra-precise Diamond dome tweeter is the perfect combination of low weight, exceptional rigidity and unrivalled precision. 15 years after its introduction, dome tweeter technology has yet to be bettered.
The latest, single-piece tweeter housing now features a more elongated shape and a longer loading tube system, delivering an even freer and more open high-frequency response. The carefully mechanically separated enclosure is made from a single block of aluminum to better resist resonance.
The new reverse orientation of the 805 D4 enclosure allows the sensitive crossover components to be housed in their own dedicated space within the enclosure, which has decisive advantages for both performance and ease of service. It also allows for the speaker terminals to be upgraded.
