B&W 803 D4 Overview
Bowers & Wilkins has always prided itself on its technological innovation and differentiated itself from the competition through products such as the tweeter-on-top tube, midrange turbine head, diamond dome, Continuum cone, biomimetic suspension, and matrix construction. Over the years, Bowers & Wilkins has kept up with changing technological trends and continues to produce the best speakers that can be found in the market today.
Refined cabinet proportions and a premium finishing touch add to the luxury feel of this latest addition to the 800 Series Diamond range, delivering a speech that is as beautiful as it is powerful.

The 803 D4 is a truly special pair of speakers that will make your music come to life in a completely new way. You won’t want to miss it, so take a closer look and get a hold of a pair today!
B&W 803 D4 Features
A smaller, more compact-headed model from our 800 Series Diamond range, it still bristles with technical innovation – and is perfectly suited to the most demanding of listening rooms. It brings all the technical advantages of our flagship Turbine Head enclosure to a more compact footprint that’s effortlessly accommodated in any home, while the renowned three-box design and decoupled midrange driver ensure it sounds as good as ever.
The lauded, upgraded Diamond tweeter is at the heart of this mighty trio-way floorstander’s sound. The tweeter is mounted on top of a teardrop-shaped tweeter enclosure which is slightly longer than it’s been in previous models, to further minimize resonances and increase the sonic impact of its upper frequencies.
Matrix bracing uses interlocking panels to reinforce loudspeaker cabinet walls in all directions internally, reducing resonance and creating a more believable soundstage. This is our most advanced assembly yet, and it’s a huge leap forward from the earlier Matrix assemblies that were used on the 701 D4 and the 802 D4.
Twin solid aluminum bass pods clamp onto a pair of Aerofoil(tm) bass drivers to give a more dynamic response than our larger, 200mm (8in) bass cones can offer. The Aerofoil(tm) is a unique diaphragm designed to mimic the shape of an airplane’s wing, which helps to isolate the impact of its bass drivers from the impact of the tweeter.
It’s paired with an improved version of our legendary Continuum cone to deliver a level of sound quality that is remarkably convincing. We’ve also taken the opportunity to fine-tune the Continuum for a better response to natural room acoustics.

- After Sales Support - The only issue with Hi-Fi equipment is that you will not find local service centers in every city. Most of the brands have their service centers only in the metro cities and hence it becomes difficult for the customers who are living far away places to claim warranty. At AV Kart, we solve this problem by arranging pikcup and drop facility from the nearest service center with the help of our logistic partners.
