Bowers & Wilkins 804 D3 – Reference-class high-end loudspeaker with revolutionary sound technology
The Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series has been considered the benchmark in high-end loudspeaker design for decades. With the 804 D3, the renowned British manufacturer presents a loudspeaker solution that combines state-of-the-art technology, uncompromising engineering, and exceptional sound quality. Developed based on seven years of intensive research and development, the 800 Diamond D3 Series sets new standards for audiophile music reproduction.
Ever since the legendary 801 studio monitors, the 800 series has enjoyed an excellent reputation worldwide. Numerous renowned recording studios, including Abbey Road Studios and Skywalker Sound Studios, rely on the precision and neutrality of these exceptional loudspeakers. The 804 D3 continues this legacy and delivers sound quality at an absolute reference level.
At its heart is the legendary Diamond Dome tweeter. Its diaphragm, crafted from pure diamond, enables exceptionally detailed, airy, and distortion-free high-frequency reproduction. Thanks to the material's enormous rigidity, the tweeter operates far beyond the audible frequency range, ensuring impressive clarity of even the finest musical nuances.
The innovative Continuum FST midrange driver is used for the precise reproduction of voices and instruments. This diaphragm material, developed specifically by Bowers & Wilkins, replaces the Kevlar used for decades and offers even better control of resonances and distortion. The result is a natural, transparent, and authentic midrange reproduction with exceptional spatiality.
The bass section of the 804 D3 is equally impressive. Two Aerofoil woofers with a sophisticated sandwich diaphragm construction deliver powerful, precise, and controlled bass. The variable thickness of the diaphragm minimizes unwanted resonances and achieves exceptionally clean low-frequency reproduction.
Another key to the exceptional sound performance is the meticulously engineered cabinet. The innovative reverse-wrap design reduces internal reflections and improves structural stability. This is further enhanced by the advanced matrix bracing, which virtually eliminates cabinet resonances. As a result, the sound reproduction remains precise, controlled, and free of coloration, even at high volume levels.
In addition, the speakers benefit from the unique Flowport bass reflex technology. The specially structured surface of the bass reflex port reduces air turbulence and enables particularly deep, clean, and dynamic bass reproduction.
Even in the smallest details, Bowers & Wilkins' uncompromising development work is evident. The solid aluminum turbine housing for the midrange driver, the solid-body tweeter housing with integrated Nautilus tube, and the high-quality crossover with exclusive Mundorf capacitors ensure the highest signal purity and maximum sound fidelity.
The 804 D3 impresses visually with its elegant and timeless design. High-quality workmanship, precisely manufactured aluminum components, and the sophisticated white high-gloss finish make the speaker an exclusive eye-catcher in any discerning living environment.
The Bowers & Wilkins 804 D3 combines state-of-the-art loudspeaker technology with audiophile perfection and is among the most impressive floorstanding speakers in its class. For music lovers who demand the highest standards of sound quality, craftsmanship, and design, this model offers an exceptional, reference-level listening experience.
