Bowers & Wilkins 803 D5 Floorstanding Speaker
The Bowers & Wilkins 803 D5 is a reference-grade three-way floorstanding speaker from the prestigious 800 Series Diamond D5. As the most compact model in the range to feature the iconic Turbine Head, it combines the advanced acoustic technologies of Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship loudspeakers with more manageable dimensions, delivering exceptional clarity, precise imaging and powerful musical dynamics.
Designed for uncompromising stereo listening and sophisticated home cinema systems, the 803 D5 brings together a Diamond Dome tweeter, a dedicated Continuum Cone FST midrange driver and twin Aerofoil bass drivers. Its carefully engineered cabinet and advanced vibration-control technologies allow music to unfold with remarkable transparency, scale and realism.
Diamond Dome Tweeter
The 25mm Diamond Dome tweeter is housed in Bowers & Wilkins’ distinctive Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top assembly. Its exceptionally rigid diamond diaphragm delivers outstanding high-frequency resolution, while the mechanically isolated aluminium housing helps reduce unwanted vibrations and interference.
With a diaphragm break-up frequency reaching approximately 70kHz, the Diamond Dome tweeter contributes to exceptional clarity, openness and precise spatial reproduction, revealing the finest details within complex musical recordings.
Turbine Head with Continuum Cone Midrange
One of the defining features of the 803 D5 is its dedicated Turbine Head, an acoustically optimised aluminium enclosure housing the 130mm Continuum Cone FST midrange driver.
By mechanically separating the midrange driver from the main bass cabinet, the Turbine Head helps minimise unwanted vibration and coloration. Its distinctive shape also reduces acoustic interference, allowing vocals and instruments to be reproduced with remarkable naturalness and precision.
The Continuum Cone driver incorporates Biomimetic Suspension and an Anti-Resonance Plug, technologies designed to further improve midrange transparency and reduce unwanted mechanical resonance.
Twin 180mm Aerofoil Bass Drivers
Two substantial 180mm Aerofoil bass drivers deliver powerful, controlled low-frequency reproduction and impressive dynamic authority.
The Aerofoil cones feature a variable-thickness construction that combines rigidity with low mass, helping the drivers maintain accurate movement even during demanding musical passages. This advanced design provides deep, articulate bass while preserving the speed and precision essential for natural sound reproduction.
Bowers & Wilkins’ Flowport bass-reflex technology further supports extended low-frequency performance by reducing unwanted airflow turbulence.
Enhanced Matrix and Space Frame Bracing
The 803 D5 incorporates the latest generation of Enhanced Matrix cabinet bracing, reinforced by aluminium Space Frame Bracing. This advanced internal structure significantly increases cabinet rigidity and helps suppress unwanted resonance.
The distinctive Reverse-Wrap cabinet is formed from a continuous curve and reinforced by a solid aluminium spine. Its carefully controlled geometry helps minimise cabinet diffraction and unwanted acoustic reflections, allowing the drivers to operate with exceptional clarity and precision.
Aluminium Top Plate with Damping Collar
A further refinement of the 803 D5 is its redesigned aluminium top plate with damping collar. This carefully engineered construction contributes to improved mechanical stability and resonance control, complementing the advanced cabinet architecture.
Together with the Turbine Head and Enhanced Matrix system, these structural improvements help create a quieter acoustic environment, allowing the finest musical details to emerge without unnecessary coloration.
Reference Performance in a Refined Design
The 803 D5 combines the acoustic sophistication of the larger 801 D5 and 802 D5 with a more compact footprint. Its exceptional transparency, effortless dynamics and precisely focused soundstage make it an outstanding choice for demanding music enthusiasts seeking reference-level reproduction.
Available in four luxurious finishes — Stealth Black, Warm White, Light Walnut and Dark Walnut — complemented by matching Leather by Connolly detailing, the 803 D5 represents an elegant combination of acoustic engineering and contemporary craftsmanship.
Price is for one speaker. Sold in matching pairs (minimum order quantity: 2 speakers).
