Bowers & Wilkins FS-805 D4 Speaker Stand Review: Elevate Your 805 D4 Loudspeakers

Welcome to our Bowers & Wilkins FS-805 D4 Speaker Stand Review, where we delve into how these stands are the perfect companion for your 805 D4 loudspeakers. By providing unmatched stability, precise isolation and the ideal listening height, these dedicated stands unlock the true potential of your high-end bookshelf speakers.
Precision Design Tailored for 805 D4
The FS-805 D4 stands are not merely legs—they are a finely tuned extension of the speaker’s chassis. Constructed from rigid steel with a high-mass base plate, each stand anchors your 805 D4 at the exact height and angle recommended by Bowers & Wilkins. The result is rock-solid support that eliminates micro-vibrations and keeps the speaker positioned flawlessly for every listening session.

Acoustic Decoupling and Stability
Inside each steel column, Bowers & Wilkins have incorporated a proprietary damping material that effectively suppresses resonances. The tri-point base uses precision spikes to decouple cabinet vibrations from your floor surface, yielding tighter bass, cleaner midrange and an overall reduction in spectral smear. Whether on hardwood, carpet or concrete, these stands ensure your 805 D4s communicate every detail with transparency.
Optimised Listening Experience
The fixed 430 mm height aligns the FS-805 D4 stands perfectly so the 805 D4’s tweeter sits at ear level when seated. This critical alignment, combined with the bespoke footprint, delivers a coherent soundstage, impeccable imaging and superior detail retrieval. Proper toe-in angle is easy to achieve and remains rock-steady, ensuring a stable sweet spot.

If you’re an audiophile determined to extract every nuance from Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship 805 D4 speakers, or a discerning home theatre enthusiast seeking pinpoint dialogue clarity, these stands are a must-have.
