Description
The Bowers & Wilkins B&W 802 D5 is engineered for reference-grade stereo listening and breathtaking home theatre experiences.
Delivering much of the quality of the flagship 801 D5 in a more affordable design, 802 D5 uses the same Diamond dome tweeter housed in a Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top, as well as the decoupled Turbine Head for its Continuum cone FST™ midrange driver. Dual 8-inch bass drivers are rigidly mounted in its reverse-wrap cabinet, ensuring controlled and precise low-frequency performance. Available in Stealth Black, Warm White, Light Walnut, or Dark Walnut, with matching Leather by Connolly trim, the 802 D5 provides you with sound you wouldn’t believe possible.
Ultimate drive unit technology
Pairing our most advanced and innovative drive unit technology, the 802 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.
