800 D3

Part-exchange 800 D3 Floorstanding Loudspeakers, by Bowers & Wilkins. Gloss Black finish, supplied as new with original boxes and grilles. Only one set available, very light use – please call for more information and to arrange a viewing.

800 D3 is the flagship model in the 800 Series Diamond range. More than a speaker – it is the culmination of half a century of acoustic research and engineering, and the pinnacle of audio performance, offering unmatched levels of clarity and realism.

When John Bowers founded his company in 1966, he dreamed of manufacturing the perfect loudspeaker. B&W have been pursuing his vision ever since, and now, more than 50 years later, they have taken their biggest and boldest leap forward yet in the shape of the 800 D3.

The 800 D3 is the outcome of the most ambitious research and development project Bowers & Wilkins have yet undertaken. With 868 changes from the model it replaces, the 800 D3 isn’t an evolution. It’s a revolution.

Every day, musicians and sound engineers depend on 800 Series Diamond speakers to monitor music, confident that the sound in the control room will be faithful to the performance in the studio.

Bowers & Wilkins

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) is now a very large company, with distribution chains and customers all over the world. However it began in 1966 with John Bowers hand-assembling speaker systems for local clients in Worthing, West Sussex, in the back of the electrical store that he ran with his friend Roy Wilkins.

Five decades later the company is a global leader in sound, and in 2016 Bowers & Wilkins were incredibly proud to celebrate their 50th anniversary – and even more proud that the ethos, passion and drive of its founder is still a vital element in its continuing success.
