Bowers & Wilkins 805 D5 Bookshelf Speakers - Dark Walnut
Details
The Definitive Bookshelf Speaker
The Bowers & Wilkins 805 D5 is the definitive bookshelf speaker. For generations, the 805 has been the stand-mount of choice in the world's most revered recording studios, trusted by musicians and engineers who need to hear everything. The D5 generation takes that legacy further than ever before.
Diamond Dome & Continuum™ In A Compact Design
The 805 D5 houses the same Diamond dome tweeter found in the flagship 801 D5, mounted in its own Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top enclosure for complete acoustic isolation. Paired with a 6.5-inch Continuum™ cone bass/midrange driver, it delivers a standard of transparency, detail and musicality that few speakers of any size can match.
Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top
By housing the tweeter in its own dedicated enclosure, mounted above the main cabinet, Bowers & Wilkins ensures the high frequencies are completely isolated from any vibration or interference generated by the bass/midrange driver below. The result is a purity and precision in the treble that defines the 800 Series Diamond sound.
Refined For The D5 Generation
Every element of the 805 D5 has been refined for the D5 generation. An upgraded Matrix™ bracing structure reduces cabinet resonance to vanishingly low levels, while careful attention to every component and connection ensures that nothing gets between the listener and the music.
Crafted To Be Better By Design
The 805 D5 inherits the same acoustic design philosophy as the rest of the 800 Series Diamond range. A cabinet formed from a continuously curved surface eliminates the parallel walls that cause unwanted internal reflections, ensuring the sound you hear is as pure and uncoloured as the recording intended.
Available In Four Stunning Finishes
The 805 D5 is available in four beautifully crafted finishes: Stealth Black, Warm White, Light Walnut and Dark Walnut, each complemented by premium Leather by Connolly trim. The matching FS-805 dedicated stand is available separately in Black or Warm Titanium.
