Bowers And Wilkins 800 D2 Diamond

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.

John Bowers wanted the original Model 801 to clearly be superior to anything he had done before: to be the best loudspeaker the world had ever heard. Over the decades that have followed, we've constantly evolved his original design, but his passion for perfection continues to inspire us to this day.

Other speakers merely replay recorded music. 800 Series Diamond makes it. The speaker of choice for recording industry professionals for decades, it has helped artists and studios the world over to create the music and film soundtracks that have shaped a generation.
