BOWERS & WILKINS

Bowers & Wilkins has been one of the most influential names in the international HiFi world for decades. The British company was founded in 1966 by John Bowers and Roy Wilkins in Worthing and has maintained a clear philosophy to this day: to reproduce music as it was originally intended by the artist and sound engineer. This "True Sound" idea has been the foundation of all developments for almost 60 years and has made Bowers & Wilkins one of the most respected speaker brands worldwide.

As an authorized Bowers & Wilkins retailer, Auditorium offers the complete portfolio of the British traditional brand – from compact bookshelf speakers to home cinema and custom installation solutions, to the reference speakers of the legendary 800 Series Diamond.

60 YEARS OF SOUND CULTURE FROM GREAT BRITAIN

What began in a small workshop in southern England has evolved into one of the most significant success stories in the audio industry. Already in the 1970s, Bowers & Wilkins attracted international attention with innovative speaker concepts. The focus was never on the quick marketing of new products but on the continuous search for the most authentic sound reproduction.

This intensive research work has led over decades to numerous innovations that are now considered milestones in speaker design. Many technologies that were initially developed in the reference models later found their way into other product lines and continue to shape the characteristic sound of Bowers & Wilkins to this day.

THE 800 SERIES DIAMOND D5 – THE NEW REFERENCE

With the 800 Series Diamond D5 presented in 2026, Bowers & Wilkins introduces the fifth generation of the legendary Diamond series. The new series combines almost 60 years of development efforts and represents the most technically demanding speaker series in the company's history.

The D5 series builds on the successes of the multiple award-winning D4 generation and has been further developed in numerous areas. Improvements in cabinet construction, resonance control, crossovers, and mechanical stability aim to further enhance the already exceptional sound quality.

The models of the 800 Series Diamond D5 symbolize the philosophy of Bowers & Wilkins: maximum precision, highest transparency, and a music reproduction that remains as close as possible to the original recording.

REFERENCE IN THE BEST SOUND STUDIOS IN THE WORLD

Hardly any speaker series enjoys a comparable reputation in professional sound studios as the 800 Series from Bowers & Wilkins. For decades, renowned recording and mastering studios have relied on speakers from the British brand.

For music lovers, this means a special advantage: Many recordings are produced or controlled on speakers that are based on the same technical philosophy as the speakers that later stand in home listening rooms. The 800 Series is therefore not only regarded as high-end speakers but also as an important reference within the professional audio world.

TECHNOLOGIES FROM BOWERS & WILKINS

Bowers & Wilkins develops numerous key technologies in-house and consistently implements them across various product lines.

Diamond Dome Tweeter

The Diamond Dome tweeters are among the brand's best-known developments. Their exceptional stiffness allows for particularly precise and distortion-free high-frequency reproduction.

Continuum Membrane

The Continuum membrane was developed to reduce colorations in the midrange. The result is a particularly natural reproduction of voices and instruments.

Turbine Head

The distinctive midrange housing of many reference models decouples the midrange driver from the rest of the cabinet and minimizes unwanted resonances.

Matrix Cabinet Construction

The elaborate internal bracing increases the stability of the speaker cabinet and reduces unwanted vibrations.
