The Bowers & Wilkins 802D2 is the second iteration of the acclaimed 800 Series Diamond lineup, a three-way vented-box floorstanding speaker designed for mid-to-large rooms. It delivers full-range warm sound with tremendous imaging, clarity, and dynamics, thanks to advanced technologies like a free-mounted 1" diamond-dome tweeter with Nautilus tube loading, a 6" Kevlar FST cone midrange in a sphere/tube enclosure, and two 8" Rohacell cone woofers with dual magnet motors. The Matrix cabinet and Flowport enhance rigidity and bass performance. Recommended for amplifiers from 50-500W, it supports both solid-state and tube amps, with dual 5-way binding posts. Finishes include rosenut, cherrywood, black ash, and piano black. No longer manufactured, used pairs
