802 D4*

Floorstanding Speaker

This is not just another speaker range. Each new generation of 800 Series Diamond is a landmark event for Bowers & Wilkins. This is our benchmark, our icon; the most advanced range of loudspeakers we know how to make. For us, the 800 Series Diamond is everything we know, and everything we are.

The 802 D4 offers much of the performance of 801 D4, including the same Turbine Head enclosure for its midrange cone, yet is more affordable overall. Perfect for reference-grade stereo listening and also an excellent choice in home theatre applications.

Every stereo model in the new range has a significantly upgraded cabinet design with an all-new aluminium top¬plate for even greater stiffness and as a result, even more realism. The same design provides a perfect mounting point for all-new Leather by Connolly cabinet detailing.

The dedicated midrange cone uses four proprietary Bowers & Wilkins technologies: the Continuum cone, FST™ , Biomimetic Suspension and midrange decoupling, the latter ensuring minimal interference from the loudspeaker's bass drivers.
