Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Bookshelf Speaker (Pair)

The 805 D4 stand-mount loudspeaker is the most compact model in the 800 Series Diamond range, but it’s still packed with the advanced technologies of its bigger brothers, including that all-important Diamond dome tweeter and Solid Body Tweeter- on-Top. Compact but still mighty, the 805 D4 offers a fantastic bass extension for its size but also retains that signature speed and impact that Bowers and Wilkins 800 series has become known for.

The iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing features an elongated form with a longer tube-loading system, creating an even more free and open sound with high frequencies. As before, the carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminum to better resist resonance.

The 805 D5 now uses a rear-mounted crossover design, mounted to the stiff aluminum spine of the speaker. This isolates the sensitive capacitors from the effects of air pressure within the enclosure.

If you are looking for a more compact design speaker that still delivers an incredible performance then the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D5 is the speaker of choice
