805 D4 standmount loudspeakers the most compact model in the 800 Series Diamond range, but its still packed with advanced technologies, including that all-important Diamond dome tweeter and Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top. It's proof positive that small can still be beautiful.

The new reverse-wrap orientation of the cabinet on 805 D4 means we can place its sensitive crossover components inside their own, dedicated space within the cabinet, which has critical benefits to both performance and serviceability. We’ve taken the opportunity to upgrade the speaker terminals, too.

Why step up from 805 D4 to 804 D4? First, 804 D4 is a three-way speaker, with twin 165mm (6.5-in) Aerofoil™ bass cones – and that has huge benefits to its power and scale. Second, as a three-way speaker, it includes a dedicated midrange cone, so voices and other details will sound more accurate.

  • Diamond Dome Tweeter: Ultra-light and rigid, it reproduces high frequencies with exceptional precision, detail, and transparency.
  • Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top: Isolated aluminum housing minimizes resonance and diffraction, enhancing spatial realism and treble openness.
  • Continuum™ Cone Mid-Bass Driver: Offers a seamless, natural sound with outstanding midrange purity and dynamic bass extension.
  • Reverse Wrap Cabinet Design: A continuous curved structure improves stiffness, dispersion, and resonance control for cleaner sound.
  • Rear-Mounted Crossover: Isolated internal chamber reduces signal interference and improves component serviceability and stability.
  • Matrix™ Internal Bracing: Interlocking internal panels with reinforced support reduce cabinet vibrations for enhanced sonic accuracy.
  • Anti-Resonance Plug: Integrated into the driver structure to suppress distortion and ensure smoother bass response.
  • Flowport™ Technology: Rear-facing, dimpled port design minimizes air turbulence and delivers tighter, cleaner low-end performance.
  • Premium Compact Form: Ideal for high-end two-channel systems or as part of an elite home theatre setup in space-conscious environments.

What makes the 805 D4 different from other 800 Series models?

The 805 D4 is the only standmount speaker in the 800 Series Diamond range. While it shares core technologies with larger models—such as the Diamond tweeter and Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top—it delivers that performance in a smaller, bookshelf-friendly form.

Can the 805 D4 deliver strong bass despite its compact size?

Yes. Thanks to its 6.5" Continuum™ mid-bass driver, Reverse Wrap cabinet, and Anti-Resonance Plug, the 805 D4 delivers bass with surprising depth, control, and articulation for a speaker of its size.

Do I need a stand for this speaker?

Yes, for optimal performance, we recommend pairing this speaker with dedicated speaker stands (sold separately) to ensure proper height, stability, and sound dispersion.

Little Diamond

805 D4 might be smaller than its tower speaker siblings, but it’s no lightweight: its beautifully constructed Reverse-Wrap cabinet, stiff aluminum bass pods and 165mm (6.5-in) Continuum™ mid-bass cone afford it exceptional bass extension and scale for a relatively compact speaker.

Diamond dome tweeter

One of our 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. 15 years after we introduced it, we haven’t found a better tweeter dome technology.

Our newest Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing features an elongated form with a longer tube-loading system, producing an even more free and open sound with high frequencies. The carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminum to better resist resonance.
