Positioned just below the flagship 801 D5, it brings many of Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ most advanced acoustic technologies into a slightly more compact cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Diamond dome tweeter, dedicated Continuum™ cone midrange driver and dual 200 mm Aerofoil™ bass drivers work together to deliver exceptional clarity, precise imaging and deep, controlled low-frequency performance. Its sculpted cabinet, Turbine Head and upgraded Matrix™ bracing system help reduce unwanted resonance, allowing music and film soundtracks to sound spacious, natural and remarkably detailed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDiamond Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 802 D5 features Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ renowned \u003cstrong\u003e25 mm Diamond dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e. Diamond combines exceptional stiffness with very low mass, allowing the tweeter’s break-up frequency to extend to approximately 70 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy moving unwanted resonance far beyond the audible range, the Diamond dome produces clean, open and highly detailed high frequencies. Cymbals, strings, ambience and subtle recording details are reproduced with impressive precision without sounding harsh or exaggerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid Body Tweeter-on-Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond dome tweeter is housed inside a rigid \u003cstrong\u003eSolid Body Tweeter-on-Top\u003c\/strong\u003e enclosure rather than being mounted within the main speaker cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysically separating the tweeter from the larger drive units helps reduce acoustic interference and cabinet vibration. The elongated enclosure is also shaped to minimise diffraction around the tweeter, supporting more accurate stereo imaging and a clearer sense of space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContinuum Cone FST Midrange Driver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dedicated \u003cstrong\u003e150 mm Continuum cone FST™ midrange driver\u003c\/strong\u003e handles the critical vocal and instrumental frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Continuum cone is designed to deliver smooth, controlled behaviour without the abrupt resonance characteristics associated with some traditional cone materials. This helps voices sound natural, instruments retain their correct tonal character and complex recordings remain clear and easy to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBiomimetic Suspension\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 802 D5 incorporates Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ \u003cstrong\u003eBiomimetic Suspension\u003c\/strong\u003e behind the midrange driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis advanced suspension replaces the conventional fabric spider commonly found in loudspeaker drive units. Its open structure reduces unwanted air pressure and mechanical noise behind the cone, helping reveal finer details within vocals and instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Anti-Resonance plug further controls the midrange driver’s movement for greater clarity and consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDecoupled Turbine Head\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Continuum midrange driver is mounted within Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ distinctive \u003cstrong\u003eTurbine Head\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachined from solid aluminium, this rigid enclosure is acoustically separated from the main bass cabinet. Its curved shape helps resist internal resonance and provides a stable platform for the midrange driver, supporting precise imaging and a more believable soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDual 200 mm Aerofoil Bass Drivers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo \u003cstrong\u003e200 mm Aerofoil bass drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e provide the 802 D5 with impressive low-frequency extension and dynamic authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aerofoil cones use a carefully formed profile designed to remain rigid as they move. This allows the drivers to reproduce deep bass with greater control and reduced distortion, even during demanding orchestral recordings, electronic music and cinematic effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a stated frequency response extending down to 17 Hz at ±3 dB, the 802 D5 delivers substantial bass performance while maintaining speed, definition and tonal accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUpgraded Matrix Cabinet Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 802 D5 uses Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ advanced \u003cstrong\u003eMatrix bracing system\u003c\/strong\u003e to reinforce the cabinet from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterlocking internal panels reduce unwanted cabinet movement that could otherwise colour the sound. Aluminium Space Frame Bracing and an aluminium upper cabinet section further improve rigidity, helping the speaker produce a quieter background, sharper imaging and a more spacious presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReverse-Wrap Cabinet Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of using a conventional flat-fronted cabinet, the 802 D5 is formed from a continuous curved structure secured by a solid aluminium spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reverse-wrap design places the cabinet opening and join at the rear, creating a smoother and more acoustically stable surface around the drivers. The curved front reduces sound reflections and diffraction, while the reinforced rear spine provides additional structural support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlowport Bass Reflex Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 802 D5 uses Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ \u003cstrong\u003eFlowport™ bass-reflex system\u003c\/strong\u003e to manage airflow through the cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe port’s dimpled surface helps reduce turbulence as air enters and exits the enclosure. This supports cleaner, quieter and more controlled bass reproduction, particularly at higher listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for High-Performance Amplification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 802 D5 has a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, a minimum impedance of 3.3 ohms and a sensitivity of 90 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBowers \u0026amp; Wilkins recommends amplifier power between 50 and 1,000 watts into 8 ohms on unclipped programme material. While its sensitivity allows it to achieve substantial volume, a high-quality amplifier with stable current delivery is recommended to fully control the dual bass drivers and reveal the speaker’s dynamic capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for Stereo and Home Theatre\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 802 D5 is equally suited to a dedicated two-channel listening room or a premium home theatre system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a stereo configuration, it delivers expansive imaging, lifelike vocals and the scale required for large musical performances. Within a multichannel system, it can serve as a commanding front left or right speaker alongside compatible 800 Series Diamond centre and surround models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Cabinet Finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 802 D5 is available in four premium finishes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStealth Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark Walnut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight Walnut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStealth Black and Dark Walnut versions are paired with black grilles, while Warm White and Light Walnut versions feature grey grilles.
