It is ideal for listeners who want exceptional clarity, imaging and bass control without the larger footprint of the flagship models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts three-way configuration combines a \u003cstrong\u003eDiamond dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e, dedicated \u003cstrong\u003eContinuum™ cone FST™ midrange driver\u003c\/strong\u003e and dual \u003cstrong\u003e165 mm Aerofoil™ bass drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e. These advanced technologies work with a rigid reverse-wrap cabinet, upgraded Matrix™ bracing and a tuned plinth to produce spacious, detailed and highly controlled sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDiamond Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 804 D5 features Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ renowned \u003cstrong\u003e25 mm Diamond dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to reproduce high frequencies with exceptional openness, precision and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiamond’s combination of low mass and high stiffness pushes the tweeter’s break-up frequency to approximately 70 kHz. By moving unwanted resonance far beyond the audible range, the tweeter can reveal subtle details within vocals, strings, percussion and recording ambience without sounding harsh or exaggerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid Body Tweeter-on-Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than mounting the tweeter inside the main cabinet, Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins places it within a rigid \u003cstrong\u003eSolid Body Tweeter-on-Top\u003c\/strong\u003e enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeparating the tweeter from the larger drive units helps reduce interference from cabinet vibration. The elongated housing is also shaped to minimise diffraction around the driver, supporting sharper stereo imaging and a more natural sense of space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContinuum Cone FST Midrange Driver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dedicated \u003cstrong\u003e130 mm Continuum cone FST midrange driver\u003c\/strong\u003e handles the critical frequencies occupied by vocals and most musical instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Continuum cone is designed to behave smoothly across its operating range, reducing 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 well organised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBiomimetic Suspension\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 804 D5 incorporates Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ advanced \u003cstrong\u003eBiomimetic Suspension\u003c\/strong\u003e behind the midrange driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis open suspension design replaces the conventional fabric spider found in many loudspeaker drivers. By reducing unwanted air pressure and mechanical noise behind the cone, Biomimetic Suspension helps uncover finer details and improve transparency through the midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Anti-Resonance plug further controls the driver’s behaviour for clearer and more consistent reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAluminium Midrange Enclosure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Continuum midrange driver is housed within a dedicated aluminium enclosure inside the cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rigid internal structure helps isolate the midrange driver from pressure and vibration generated by the bass drivers. It also provides a stable mounting platform, allowing vocals and instruments to sound more focused, controlled and accurately positioned within the soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDual 165 mm Aerofoil Bass Drivers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo \u003cstrong\u003e165 mm Aerofoil bass drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e provide the 804 D5 with deep, responsive and well-defined low-frequency performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aerofoil cone profile is engineered to maintain rigidity as the driver moves, helping reduce distortion during demanding bass passages. Music retains its pace and definition, while orchestral recordings, electronic tracks and film soundtracks gain convincing weight and scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 804 D5 offers a stated frequency response extending down to 19 Hz at ±3 dB, delivering impressive bass extension from its relatively slim cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEnhanced Matrix Cabinet Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the enclosure, Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ upgraded \u003cstrong\u003eMatrix bracing system\u003c\/strong\u003e strengthens the cabinet and reduces unwanted resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterlocking internal panels limit cabinet movement that could otherwise colour the sound. Aluminium Space Frame Bracing, an aluminium top section and the dedicated aluminium midrange enclosure further improve rigidity, supporting clearer detail and a more believable soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReverse-Wrap Cabinet Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 804 D5 cabinet is formed from a continuous curved structure rather than a conventional flat-fronted box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reverse-wrap design reduces reflections around the drive units and moves the cabinet join to the rear. A solid aluminium spine locks the structure in place, improving rigidity while contributing to the speaker’s distinctive, elegant appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlowport Bass Reflex Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBowers \u0026amp; Wilkins’ \u003cstrong\u003eFlowport™\u003c\/strong\u003e bass-reflex system helps the 804 D5 reproduce low frequencies with greater control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe port uses a carefully shaped, dimpled surface to reduce turbulence as air moves through the enclosure. This helps minimise unwanted port noise and compression, particularly during demanding music or high-volume playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUpgraded Plinth with Tuned-Mass Damping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 804 D5 is supported by an upgraded plinth incorporating tuned-mass damping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stable foundation helps reduce unwanted vibration and improves the speaker’s mechanical connection to the floor. The result is tighter bass, clearer imaging and more consistent performance across a variety of listening environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for High-Performance Amplification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 804 D5 has a sensitivity of 89 dB, a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and a minimum impedance of 3.0 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBowers \u0026amp; Wilkins recommends amplifier power between 50 and 1,000 watts into 8 ohms on unclipped programme material. A high-quality amplifier with stable current delivery is recommended to control the dual bass drivers and reveal the speaker’s full dynamic capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for Stereo and Home Theatre Systems\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 804 D5 is well suited to premium two-channel music systems where reference-level performance is required in a narrower cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can also serve as a high-performance front left or right speaker in an 800 Series Diamond home theatre system. Its precise imaging, wide frequency response and controlled dynamics make it equally capable with music, films and television soundtracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Cabinet Finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 804 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 models are supplied with black grilles, while Warm White and Light Walnut versions include grey grilles.
