Bowers & Wilkins 803 D5 Reference floor-standing loudspeaker (Pair)

Ultimate drive unit technology Pairing our most advanced and innovative drive unit technology, the 803 D5 delivers our purest sound ever. The Diamond dome tweeter pushes break-up frequency to 70kHz, delivering exceptional clarity, precision and openness, and the Continuum™ cone delivers voices and instruments with lifelike detail. Optimised for pure performance Every model in the new 800 Series Diamond range benefits from enhanced technology. An upgraded Matrix™ design reduces resonance and creates a more believable soundstage, while aluminium Space Frame Bracing and an all-new aluminium top section within the cabinet help deliver an even more spacious and immersive sound. Crafted to be better by design The 800 Series Diamond looks this way for a reason. Its shape is dictated by the science of sound. Our cabinets are formed from a single continuous curve, locked in place by a solid aluminium spine, so cabinet reflections are reduced. Complemented by the Tweeter-on-Top and Turbine Head, musical performance is always as precise as possible.
