Description

The Bowers & Wilkins 804 D5 brings the exceptional performance of the 800 Series Diamond range into a more conventional and compact floor-standing loudspeaker design.

Designed for music enthusiasts who want reference-quality sound without requiring a larger speaker footprint, the 804 D5 combines advanced acoustic technologies with elegant craftsmanship.

Featuring a 25mm Diamond Dome tweeter housed in the iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top design, the 804 D5 delivers exceptional high-frequency precision, clarity and openness. Its Continuum™ cone FST™ midrange driver, housed within an aluminium enclosure, reproduces vocals and musical instruments with natural detail and accuracy.

Two 165mm Aerofoil™ bass drivers provide powerful and controlled low-frequency performance, while the enhanced Matrix™ cabinet construction helps reduce unwanted resonance for a more precise and immersive soundstage.

With its reverse-wrap cabinet, solid aluminium spine and upgraded plinth featuring tuned-mass damping, the 804 D5 combines sophisticated engineering with timeless design.
