Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Signature Loudspeakers Are Affordable Luxury

Bowers & Wilkins made a familiar announcement. The company found another way to refine the formula for something that doesn't necessarily needs to change, but needs to be constantly revived to keep the brand and product awareness alive. This time, B&W announced the new 801 D4 Signature and the 805 D4 Signature speakers, further refining and advancing a very successful design into the Ultimate affordable luxury.

The details about the new Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond speaker range have been unveiled for some time to global distribution channels and the trade press, and they weren't supposed to become public until September 1. But as always, someone decided to leak the information, and the embargo was lifted today. The new flagship Bowers & Wilkins D4 loudspeaker range introduces an all-new industrial design, updated drivers, and sets even higher standards.

First unveiled in 2015 when Bowers & Wilkins introduced its new 800 Series Diamond, the flagship 800 D3 model was promised for Q2 2016. The “best loudspeaker Bowers & Wilkins has ever produced”, the 800 D3 combines all the ground-breaking technologies developed for the new series and is the ultimate conclusion of the concept originally introduced in 1979.

On the eve of the company’s 50th anniversary, Bowers & Wilkins introduced a reimagined 800 Series Diamond loudspeakers. The new range features new midrange drivers with a composite cone material replacing the Kevlar and a new curved cabinet design. Even the famous diamond tweeter domes received a new motor system.
