The Bowers & Wilkins 802D, produced from 2004-2009, is a premium 3-way vented-box floorstanding speaker renowned for its studio-quality sound. It incorporates advanced technologies including a 1-inch diamond dome tweeter with Nautilus tube loading, a 6-inch woven Kevlar FST midrange cone, and two 8-inch Rohacell composite cone woofers. The design features a distinctive tapered cabinet for reduced resonance, optimized driver integration via crossovers at 350Hz and 4kHz, and finishes in Cherrywood, Rosenut, Black Ash, or Piano Black. No longer manufactured, it delivers exceptional clarity, power handling, and imaging, ideal for high-end audio systems with amplifiers from 50-500W.
