Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Signature Standmount Speaker

Description

805 D4 Signature

Compact and powerful, the 805 D4 Signature stand-mount loudspeaker features fully optimised technologies, including the Diamond Dome tweeter and Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top. It’s proof positive that small can still be beautiful.

One of the most significant accomplishments over the past two decades, the ultra-stiff, supremely accurate Diamond Dome tweeter is the perfect combination of low mass, exceptional stiffness, and outstanding accuracy. Fifteen years after Bowers introduced it, they still have not found a better tweeter dome technology.

The Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing features an elongated form with a longer tube-loading system and an all-new design of tweeter grille, producing an even more free and open sound with high frequencies.

The 805 D4 Signature uses upgraded rear-mounted crossover designs mounted on stiff aluminium spines. This isolates the sensitive capacitors from the unwanted effects of air pressure within the enclosure and makes for a very effective heatsink to ensure optimum performance when in use.

Featuring the beautifully-constructed Reverse-Wrap cabinet, stiff aluminium bass pods and 165 mm Continuum™ mid-bass cone, these premium offerings afford it exceptional bass extension and scale for a relatively compact speaker.
