The Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 Floorstanding Speaker in Satin Rosenut (Pair) embodies Bowers & Wilkins' crowning achievement in acoustic engineering and timeless furniture-grade craftsmanship. Finished in a warm, book-matched Satin Rosenut real wood veneer complemented by black Connolly leather and anodized aluminum accents, this flagship 3-way loudspeaker pair serves as the definitive reference monitor across world-renowned mastering suites and premier two-channel systems. Driven by dual 10-inch Aerofoil™ bass woofers housed within an aluminum-braced reverse-wrap cabinet, an isolated Turbine Head™ housing a Continuum™ cone midrange, and the elongated Solid Body Diamond Dome tweeter, it yields surgical soundstage precision, uncompressed dynamic swing, and effortless micro-detail resolution.
Key Features & Innovations
Decoupled Solid Body Diamond Dome Tweeter — the Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 Floorstanding Speaker in Satin Rosenut (Pair) integrates an ultra-rigid diamond vapor-deposited dome inside an elongated solid-aluminum pod, rendering crystalline treble past 35 kHz completely decoupled from cabinet-borne vibrations.
Cast Aluminum Turbine Head™ & Continuum™ Midrange — the 6-inch Continuum cone uses Biomimetic Suspension inside the acoustically inert Turbine Head to abolish unwanted cavity resonance and rear air-pressure distortion for pure, lifelike midrange articulation.
Twin 10-inch Aerofoil™ Profile Bass Woofers — variable-thickness carbon fiber skins over a syntactic foam core deliver high structural rigidity with minimal mass, generating deep, articulate bass impact down to 15 Hz with negligible distortion.
Curved Reverse-Wrap Cabinet with Metal Matrix™ Bracing — continuous curved multi-ply wood construction minimizes front-baffle diffraction, supported by an internal interlocking wooden Matrix framework anchored to a heavy aluminum spine plate.
Downward Flowport™ on Cast Aluminum Plinth — low-frequency energy vents smoothly downward onto a mass-damped steel and aluminum plinth fitted with built-in transit casters and heavy-duty M12 stainless steel isolation spikes.
