Bowers & Wilkins 801 D5 Reference Speaker

The Bowers & Wilkins 801 D5 Reference Speaker is a curved wood and solid aluminum floor standing tower engineered as a full-range acoustic transducer. Sold as each individual unit to form a reference stereo pair or home cinema system, this flagship model from the 800 D5 series translates decades of B&W studio lineage into pure musical clarity.

Lifelike Vocals and Spatial Precision:

At the core of the Bowers & Wilkins 801 D5 is an isolated Turbine Head housing a dedicated midrange driver. This structure separates vocal and acoustic instrument frequencies from the main cabinet, preventing structural vibrations from coloring the audio. Voices and instruments sound open, immediate, and naturally textured, creating the sensation of an intimate live performance inside your room.

Effortless Treble and Authoritative Bass:

High frequencies are reproduced by an ultra-rigid diamond dome tweeter mounted in an external solid-body housing, extending upper registers smoothly without introducing harshness or listener fatigue. Down low, twin 10-inch bass drivers move air with absolute control, delivering low-end impact that feels grounded, authoritative, and tight even at substantial playback volumes.
