Bowers & Wilkins HTM82 D4 Centre Speaker
This model is available exclusively from our store in Chelsea.
HTM82 D4 centre channel speaker
For Theatre systems based on the more compact 803 D4 or 804 D4, the HTM82 D4 centre-channel speaker is the perfect solution. Its more compact midrange drive unit is ideally sized to match those of its siblings.
It’s a Wrap
The new HTM82 D4 may be Bowers & Wilkins most compact centre-channel speaker, but it shares the design DNA of its larger siblings, including the Reverse Wrap cabinet and Matrix™ bracing. The combination of the two technologies ensures a quieter, more acoustically efficient and better-sounding speaker than ever.
Reverse Wrap cabinet
Instead of a conventional loudspeaker box, our cabinets are made from a continuous curved section of wood, with the drive units mounted at the heart of the curvature. This stiffer, more inert structure resists mechanical resonances far better and also ensures better dispersion of sound.

Continuum™ cone midrange
Introduced as a huge evolutionary change for Bowers & Wilkins in 2015, the Continuum cone midrange drive has swiftly become a fundamental element in every Bowers & Wilkins loudspeaker. With exceptionally low noise, it ensures outstanding resolution without coloration or masking of detail.
Decoupled midrange assembly
HTM82 D4 has a dedicated midrange cone using three key Bowers & Wilkins technologies: the Continuum cone, Biomimetic Suspension and midrange decoupling, the latter ensuring minimal interference from the operation of the loudspeaker’s bass drivers. The result is outstanding clarity.
The science of sound
Innovation is at the heart of everything Bowers & Wilkins do. They question, they examine, they understand and then evolve. Bowers & Wilkins use computer modelling to explore and reimagine every aspect of loudspeaker design.
800 Series Diamond™
Excellence. Evolved.
An icon reborn
This is not just another speaker range. Each new generation of 800 Series Diamond is a landmark event for Bowers & Wilkins. This is the benchmark, the icon; the most advanced range of loudspeakers Bowers & Wilkins know how to make. For Bowers & Wilkins, the 800 Series Diamond is everything they know, and everything they are.
Decades in the making
John Bowers wanted the original Model 801 to clearly be superior to anything he had done before: to be the best loudspeaker the world had ever heard. Over the decades that have followed, Bowers & Wilkins constantly evolved his original design, but his passion for perfection continues to inspire Bowers & Wilkins to this day.
A legacy like no other
Other speakers merely replay recorded music. 800 Series Diamond makes it. The speaker of choice for recording industry professionals for decades, it has helped artists and studios the world over to create the music and film soundtracks that have shaped a generation.
Form meets function
Bowers & Wilkins design always has a purpose. Decades of cutting-edge research into loudspeaker design have given them a deep understanding of how to make them sound wonderful. And if that same knowledge also inspires beautiful forms wrapped in a range of four luxurious finishes, who’s complaining?
