B&W 801 Signature Reference Speaker

The 801 D4 Signature floor-standing speaker features optimised technologies, including that all-important Diamond Dome tweeter and Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top, an all-new tweeter grille, and upgraded crossover.

Our 801 D4 Signature uses upgraded rear-mounted crossover designs mounted on stiff aluminum spines. This isolates the sensitive capacitors from the unwanted effects of air pressure within the enclosure and makes for a very effective heatsink to ensure optimum performance when in use.

Every new 800 Series Signature model has a significantly upgraded cabinet design with an all-new, optimised aluminum top section for even greater stiffness. The same design also provides a perfect mounting point for Leather by Connolly cabinet detailing, with luxurious full-grain blue leather for our Midnight Blue Metallic models and full-grain black leather for our California Burl Gloss models.

• Diamond Dome Tweeter – Ultra-rigid and feather-light, this reference-grade tweeter delivers unmatched accuracy, detail, and spaciousness across the treble spectrum.
• Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top – Elongated, decoupled aluminum housing with a redesigned tweeter grille offers even greater openness and airiness in high frequencies.
• Continuum™ Cone FST™ Midrange Driver – Ensures transparent, neutral midrange performance with superb detail and clarity.
• Biomimetic Suspension – A revolutionary replacement for traditional fabric spiders, reducing coloration and enhancing vocal and instrumental realism.
• Turbine Head Midrange Enclosure – Isolated, all-aluminum housing eliminates resonance and distortion for the purest midrange presentation.
• Aerofoil™ Profile Bass Drivers – Variable-thickness carbon/foam-core cones provide powerful, tightly controlled bass with minimal distortion.
• Anti-Resonance Plug – Further refines bass clarity by suppressing unwanted driver movement.
• Flowport™ Technology – Dimpled, rear-facing port design minimizes air turbulence and enhances low-frequency performance.
• Upgraded Crossover Network – Mounted on aluminum spines to isolate from internal cabinet pressures and act as efficient heatsinks for improved fidelity and reliability.
• Optimized Aluminium Top Plate – Enhances cabinet stiffness and provides the foundation for luxurious Leather by Connolly trim in either Midnight Blue Metallic or California Burl Gloss finishes.
• Exclusive Signature Finishes – Premium-grade finishes and materials underscore the speaker’s exclusivity, artistry, and performance legacy.
