802 D5
Bowers & Wilkins 802 D5 centres its design on a Diamond dome tweeter within a Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top, paired with a decoupled Turbine Head for the Continuum cone FST™ midrange driver. Its dual 8-inch bass drivers sit in a reverse-wrap cabinet, while upgraded Matrix™ structure reduces unwanted resonance and supports a more natural soundstage.

Delivering much of the performance and sophistication of the flagship 801 D5 in a more accessible design, the 802 D5 features the same Diamond dome tweeter housed within a Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top, alongside a decoupled Turbine Head for its Continuum cone FST™ midrange driver. Its dual 8-inch bass drivers are rigidly mounted within the reverse-wrap cabinet, delivering controlled, precise, and powerful low-frequency performance.
Available in Stealth Black, Warm White, Light Walnut, or Dark Walnut, each complemented by matching Leather by Connolly trim, the 802 D5 combines refined design with exceptional acoustic performance, delivering a level of sound that has to be heard to be believed.
Ultimate drive unit technology
Combining our most advanced drive unit technologies, the 802 D5 delivers an exceptionally pure and revealing listening experience. Its Diamond dome tweeter extends the break-up frequency to 70kHz, providing remarkable clarity, precision and openness, while the Continuum™ cone reproduces voices and instruments with natural, lifelike detail.
Optimised for pure performance
Every model in the new 800 Series Diamond range benefits from advanced technologies designed to maximise performance. The upgraded Matrix™ structure helps minimise unwanted resonance, creating a more natural and convincing soundstage. Aluminium Space Frame Bracing, together with an all-new aluminium top section within the cabinet, further enhances rigidity to deliver an even more open, spacious and immersive listening experience.
Crafted to be better by design
The distinctive form of the 800 Series Diamond is shaped by the science of sound. Each cabinet is built around a continuous curved profile, reinforced by a solid aluminium spine to reduce unwanted cabinet reflections and enhance clarity. Combined with the Tweeter-on-Top and Turbine Head, every element of the design works together to deliver precise, focused and engaging musical performance.
