Bowers & Wilkins 802 D4 Floor standing loudspeaker (Pair)

Description

It’s notches better than another speaker range. Each new generation of 800 Series Diamond is a landmark event for Bowers & Wilkins. This is the benchmark, their icon; the most breakthrough range of loudspeakers they know how to make. For B&W, the 800 Series Diamond is a sum total of everything they know, and everything they are. The loudspeaker that sets the standard other high-end designs will be judged by for years to come. Crafted to similar proportions as the flagship 801 D4, the Bowers & Wilkins 802 D4 offers much of the performance of its sibling, including the same Turbine™ Head enclosure for its midrange drive unit, yet is more cost-effective overall. 802 D4 is a very special loudspeaker in its own right, with an exciting synergy of performance and style that other loudspeakers will find hard to recreate. Only one model in the B&W range can best it – the flagship 801 D4, which has 250mm (10in) bass cones in a more substantial low-frequency enclosure.

Unmatched Elegance That doesn’t Compromise on Performance
Bowers & Wilkins 802 D4’s svelte proportions and beautiful painted or real-wood-veneer finishes make for an elegant living-room companion – but one that doesn’t compromise on performance. Perfect for reference-grade stereo listening and an excellent choice in home theatre applications.

Aerofoil Base Cone
B&W’s aerofoil bass cone technology remains an outstanding solution to the conundrum of combining low mass and high stiffness in bass cones, thanks to its carbon-fibre skin and variable-profile foam core. Now, they have added the foam Anti-Resonance Plug to ensure there is barely perceptible distortion and even cleaner bass.

Upgraded Cabinet With An All-new Aluminium Top Plate
Every stereo model in the new 800 Series Diamond™ range has a highly upgraded cabinet with an all-new aluminium top plate. This also provides a perfect mounting point for all-new Leather by Connolly trim, with plush black leather for dark cabinets and light grey for lighter finishes.

Decoupled Midrange Assembly
Like its floor-standing siblings in the new range, 802 D4 has a dedicated midrange cone leveraging three key Bowers & Wilkins technologies: the Continuum™ cone, Biomimetic Suspension, and midrange decoupling, the latter ensuring minimal interference from the operation of the loudspeaker’s bass drivers.
