BOWERS & WILKINS 800 SERIES DIAMOND D5

60 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT WORK. A NEW REFERENCE.

With the 800 Series Diamond D5, Bowers & Wilkins presents the most advanced speaker series in the company’s history. Introduced in the anniversary year marking the 60th anniversary of the British traditional brand, the new generation embodies like no other the vision of founder John Bowers: to reproduce music exactly as it was recorded.

For decades, the 800 series has been one of the most well-known speakers in the world. Music lovers, sound engineers, and professional studios rely on their exceptional precision, natural reproduction, and their ability to make even the finest details of a recording audible. With the new D5 generation, Bowers & Wilkins continues this tradition consistently.

THE FIFTH GENERATION OF AN ICON

The new 800 Series Diamond D5 is the result of six decades of research, development, and acoustic passion. Building on the award-winning D4 series, nearly every aspect of the speakers has been revised and further developed.

New cabinet constructions, optimized damping concepts, revised crossover networks, and numerous technical detail improvements result in lower distortions, higher resolution, and even more authentic reproduction. The fundamental idea remains unchanged: the speaker should not be audible itself, but solely the music.

Bowers & Wilkins therefore describes the D5 series as the most advanced speaker generation the company has ever developed.

TECHNOLOGY SERVING MUSIC

Like every generation of the 800 series, the D5 benefits from a variety of proprietary technologies.

The legendary Diamond Dome tweeter has been further optimized and now operates with even improved acoustic transparency. New bracing concepts in the cabinet reduce resonances even more effectively, while many components from previous Signature models have been integrated into mass production. The result is an even more open, dynamic, and precise reproduction.

In this pursuit, Bowers & Wilkins continues to apply its "True Sound" philosophy: every technical decision serves exclusively the goal of making the original recording as unaltered as possible.

SEVEN MODELS FOR THE HIGHEST DEMANDS

The new 800 Series Diamond D5 includes seven models:

  • 801 D5
  • 802 D5
  • 803 D5
  • 804 D5
  • 805 D5
  • HTM81 D5
