Bowers & Wilkins 802 D4 (Paire)

Description

Built to similar proportions as the flagship 801 D4, the 802 D4 offers much of the performance of its sibling, including the same Turbine Head enclosure for its midrange drive unit, yet is more affordable overall.

Absolute elegance

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 bass cone

Bowers & Wilkins' 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 for lower distortion and even cleaner bass.

Aluminium top-plate

Every stereo model in the new 800 Series Diamond range has a significantly upgraded cabinet with an all-new aluminium top-plate. This also provides a perfect mounting point for all-new Leather by Connolly trim, with luxurious black leather for dark cabinets and light grey for lighter finishes.

Decoupled midrange assembly

Like its floorstanding siblings in the new range, 802 D4 has a dedicated midrange cone using 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.

The science of sound

Innovation is at the heart of everything Bowers & Wilkins does. They question, examine, understand and then they evolve. They use computer modelling to explore and reimagine every aspect of loudspeaker design.

One of Bowers & Wikins' best

802 D4 is a very special loudspeaker in its own right, with a thrilling blend of performance and style that other loudspeakers will find hard to emulate. Only one model in Bowers & Wilkins' range can best it – the flagship 801 D4, which has 250mm (10in) bass cones in a more substantial low-frequency enclosure.
