Diamond Dome Tweeter
Diamond dome tweeters push break-up frequency to 70kHz, delivering exceptional clarity, precision and openness through one of the most advanced tweeter technologies available.
Turbine Head
The all-aluminum Turbine Head is an inert housing for the midrange cone that avoids unwanted resonances and is decoupled from both the bass enclosure and the tweeter body.
Solid Body Tweeter
Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing features an elongated form with a longer tube-loading system and an all-new design of tweeter grille, producing an even more free and open sound with high frequencies.
Enhanced Matrix
Every model in the new 800 Series Diamond range benefits from an upgraded Matrix™ design, reducing resonance and creating a more believable soundstage.
Reverse Wrap Cabinet
Bowers and Wilkins cabinets are formed from a single continuous curve, locked in place by a solid aluminum spine, so sound dispersion is improved and cabinet reflections are reduced.
Biomimetic Suspension
B&W turned their attention to another crucial element in a loudspeaker cone: the fabric spider. Our Biomimetic Suspension revolutionizes midrange cone performance by greatly reducing the unwanted air pressure and coloration that a conventional fabric spider can generate. The result? Midrange transparency you wouldn’t believe possible.
Decoupled Midrange Assembly
Every 800 Series Diamond loudspeaker, except the 805 D5, has a decoupled midrange cone, ensuring minimal interference from the loudspeaker’s bass drivers.
New Aluminum Top Plate with Damping Collar
Every stereo model in the new 800 Series Diamond range has a significantly upgraded cabinet design with an all-new aluminum top section for even greater stiffness.
Upgraded Rear-Mounted Crossover
800 Series Diamond use upgraded rear-mounted crossovers that isolate the sensitive capacitors from the effects of air pressure within the enclosure.
Continuum Cone
Voices and instruments are delivered with purity and precision, thanks to the smooth, accurate Continuum™ cone.
Leather by Connolly
The top section of every stereo model features an aluminum top-plate, covered in all-new Leather by Connolly trim selected to suit each cabinet finish.
Optimized Midrange / Bass Drive Units
All of the new 800 Series Diamond D5 models feature upgraded motor systems for cleaner, lower-distortion sound.
Upgraded Plinth with Tuned-Mass Damping
The aluminum plinths on all 800 Series Diamond floor standing models include constrained-layer damping for cleaner low-frequency output.
Space Frame Bracing
Aluminum Space Frame Bracing rails on each 800 Series Diamond loudspeaker cabinet help deliver an even more spacious and immersive soundstage.
