Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 Signature

Description 

The Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 Signature floor-standing speaker represents the pinnacle of acoustic engineering and design. It incorporates a range of optimised technologies that elevate its performance to a new standard of excellence. At its heart lies the iconic Diamond Dome tweeter, renowned for its unmatched stiffness, accuracy, and clarity, delivering breathtaking detail in the high frequencies. Complementing this is the Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top with its elongated housing, advanced tube-loading system, and newly engineered tweeter grille, all of which contribute to an even more open, spacious, and natural sound. The speaker also benefits from an upgraded crossover network, meticulously mounted on rigid aluminium spines to ensure stability, isolation, and superior heat dissipation for consistent high-level performance. Together, these innovations combine to create a loudspeaker that not only exemplifies cutting-edge technology but also embodies the craftsmanship, luxury, and sonic precision that define Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship offering.

Optimised For Perfection 

The 801 D4 Signature is an optimised version of our most advanced loudspeaker. It features meticulously evolved technology, carefully crafted design, and unique finishes that culminate in the pinnacle of performance. This is Bowers & Wilkins' flagship loudspeaker perfected.

Diamond Dome Tweeter

One of our most significant accomplishments over the past two decades, the ultra-stiff, supremely accurate Diamond Dome tweeter is the perfect combination of low mass, exceptional stiffness, and outstanding accuracy. Fifteen years after we introduced it, we haven't found a better tweeter dome technology.

Solid Body Tweeter

Our Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing features an elongated form with a longer tube-loading system and an all-new design of tweeter grille, producing an even more free and open sound with high frequencies.

Upgraded Crossover

Our 801 D4 Signature uses upgraded rear-mounted crossover designs mounted on stiff aluminum spines. This isolates the sensitive capacitors from the unwanted effects of air pressure within the enclosure and makes for a very effective heatsink to ensure optimum performance when in use.

Aluminium Top-Plate

Every new 800 Series Signature model has a significantly upgraded cabinet design with an all-new, optimised aluminum top section for even greater stiffness. The same design also provides a perfect mounting point for Leather by Connolly cabinet detailing, with luxurious full-grain blue leather for our Midnight Blue Metallic models and full-grain black leather for our California Burl Gloss models.
