B&W 802 D4 Overview
B&W has been at the forefront of high-performance audio technology and design concepts for many years. They have a long list of reference-class loudspeakers in use around the world, with many of them used in some of the best recording studios in the business.
The B&W 802 D4 is a truly stunning reference-class floorstanding loudspeaker, the sound of which is awe-inspiring. The bass and imaging are genuinely holographic and I was blown away by how accurate the details of Haydn’s Quartets were, even when playing at higher levels. It’s a speaker that has to be played at its best, paired with a mighty power amplifier.
B&W 802 D4 Features
Designed to be the benchmark for Bowers & Wilkins, the 802 D4 features much of the same technology and design concepts as its flagship sibling, but with a more accessible cabinet proportion and premium finishes.
A new finish is added to the line-up, with Satin Walnut joining Gloss Black, White, and Satin Rosenut.
The new range also includes a significant upgrade to the cabinet design with an all-new rigid cast aluminum top section replacing the previous wooden design, dramatically increasing the speaker’s rigidity and helping improve the overall cabinet quietness.
Refined cabinet proportions combined with premium detailing combine to make this the most premium 800 Series Diamond range to date.
A revised version of the iconic Solid Body Tweeter housing remains in place, but this is now machined from a solid piece of aluminum and boasts an elongated form to better accommodate the Diamond Dome tweeter itself. The dome itself is also redesigned with a new conical shape to better reflect the acoustic properties of the Diamond Dome midrange unit used in 801 D4.
