3-way reference floorstanding loudspeaker pair • Solid Body Diamond Dome Tweeter-on-Top • Continuum™ cone FST™ midrange with Biomimetic Suspension • dual Aerofoil™ profile bass woofers • reverse-wrap matrix-braced cabinet with aluminum top plate • Flowport™ bass reflex
The Bowers & Wilkins 804 D5 Reference Tower Loudspeaker (Pair) delivers the pinnacle of British acoustic engineering in a slim, room-friendly architectural footprint. Engineered for listeners seeking flagship 800 Series Diamond transparency without the massive physical bulk of larger studio monitors, this 3-way floorstanding tower integrates an elongated Solid Body Diamond Dome Tweeter-on-Top assembly with a dedicated Continuum cone FST midrange and twin Aerofoil bass drivers. Encased in a reverse-wrap, Matrix-reinforced enclosure capped with an acoustically inert cast-aluminum top plate, it produces holographic stereo imaging, low distortion, and articulate low-frequency authority.
Key Features & Innovations
Solid Body Diamond Dome Tweeter-on-Top — the Bowers & Wilkins 804 D5 Reference Tower Loudspeaker (Pair) features an ultra-stiff synthetic diamond dome decoupled within an extended solid aluminum housing, suppressing internal standing waves to provide crystalline high frequencies past 35 kHz.
Continuum™ Cone FST™ with Biomimetic Suspension — replaces conventional fabric spiders with a minimalist composite Biomimetic Suspension, eliminating air pressure turbulence behind the cone for open, uncolored vocal and instrumental midrange reproduction.
Dual Aerofoil™ Profile Bass Woofers — variable-thickness carbon-fiber composite skin with syntactic foam core delivers pistonic rigidity and low mass, ensuring controlled, punchy bass response down to 24 Hz with zero dynamic compression.
Reverse-Wrap Cabinet Architecture & Matrix™ Bracing — curves the front and sides from continuous laminated wood layers to position drive units on a curved baffle, anchored internally by interlocking Matrix ribs to eliminate box coloration.
Downward-Firing Flowport™ on Cast-Metal Plinth — vents low-frequency energy downward through a dimpled, low-turbulence reflex port against an integrated steel and aluminum plinth, facilitating placement near room boundaries without boomy bass buildup.
