New Bowers & Wilkins 800 D4 Series Signature Speakers

Crafted. Honed. Perfected.

On June 28th, Bowers & Wilkins introduced two new Signature models to the Bowers & Wilkins portfolio: 801 D4 Signature and 805 D4 Signature. As with all Signature loudspeakers over the decades, both of the new 800 Series Signature models combine updated components with a unique and beautiful finish. They're the perfect embodiment of Signature thinking and a proud addition to the Signature heritage.

801 D4 Signature and 805 D4 Signature are available in either a painted Midnight Blue Metallic paint with matching blue Connolly leather, or a California Burl Gloss wood veneer finish trimmed with matching black Connolly leather.

Signature Technology

As with preceding generations of Signature, both 805 D4 Signature and 801 D4 Signature employ a series of carefully engineered audio upgrades designed to deliver the best possible sound.

These changes take in structural modifications designed to improve mechanical behavior and acoustic transparency, drive unit enhancements aimed at delivering even greater resolution and crossover upgrades that ensure fully optimized performance from the complete system.
