Bowers & Wilkins 805 D3 Bookshelf Speakers with Diamond Dome Gloss Black

Bowers & Wilkins' 805 D3 bookshelf speakers may be compact, but they pack a punch that's true to their high-end 800-series lineage. The diamond dome tweeter, a hallmark of the series, is housed in a robust solid aluminum body, ensuring clear and detailed high frequencies. This setup is complemented by the Continuum cone mid/bass driver, a product of eight years of development, providing a linear breakup and swift recovery for an impressively dynamic soundscape.

The 805 D3's cabinet showcases B&W’s Matrix construction, suppressing internal standing waves for a stiffer, more stable structure. Enhanced with a Flowport reflex port, these speakers deliver a controlled and articulate bass response, even in more confined Houston living rooms or dedicated listening spaces. With a sensitivity of 88dB, they pair well with amplifiers providing 50W to 120W into 8 ohms, like the Arcam P49.

Aesthetically, these speakers are available in Rosenut, Gloss Black, or Satin White finishes, blending smoothly into any decor. Whether positioned close to a boundary wall or given room to breathe, the 805 D3 adapts with precision. And, they’re easily bi-wired, accommodating both bare wire or banana plugs, with included high-quality links for single cable runs.
