Bowers & Wilkins 801 D5 Floorstanding Speakers

Reference floor-standing loudspeaker

The 801 D5 is an icon refined, the pinnacle of our performance. Engineered for recording studios and discerning listeners alike, it uses our most advanced technologies to deliver reference-quality sound.

From its Diamond dome tweeter and optimised drive units to Space Frame Bracing and an upgraded plinth, its purposeful mix of evolution and innovation is housed in an elegantly crafted and beautifully finished cabinet, shaped by the science of sound. Available in Stealth Black, Warm White, Light Walnut, or Dark Walnut, with matching Leather by Connolly trim, it’s an icon of both performance and design. Born of our 60-year obsession with creating the perfect loudspeaker, 801 D5 delivers our most realistic and accurate listening experience yet.

Others replay music, ours make music

Musicians record with it because they trust it. Engineers mix with it because it tells the truth. Listeners keep it for life because nothing else comes close. For generations, the 800 Series has been the loudspeaker of choice in the world’s most revered recording studios, helping create some of the greatest music and scores ever heard.

Bowers and Wilkins 801 D5 Speakers

Ultimate drive unit technology

Pairing our most advanced and innovative drive unit technology, the 801 D5 delivers our purest sound ever. The Diamond dome tweeter pushes break-up frequency to 70kHz, delivering exceptional clarity, precision and openness, and the ContinuumTM 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.
