Bowers & Wilkins 805 Maserati Edition Preview

The Bowers & Wilkins 805 Maserati Edition is the latest in the partnership between the two companies. The internal components stay, but the styling gets an overhaul.

Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Review: Super Sexy Speakers Sound Spectacular Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Review: Super Sexy Speakers Sound Spectacular

If this is what form following function gets you... I want more, please!

Between their great looks and perfectionist performance, the 805 D4s seduced me. I fell in love with these speakers, like no other bookshelf speakers I have heard. The qualities that produced this reaction were present from day one: An exquisitely...

Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Review - Expensive, but very audible upgrade

The new 805 D4 from Bowers & Wilkins are the best they have made in this class.

A gem of a speaker with heavenly sound and a fantastic well-balanced sound image. A reference to eternity.

A slightly restrained dynamic means that they do not play quite as hard and bold as one might wish.

Whether the new Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 is worth the money depends on the degree to which one values their qualities. There are many floor-standing speakers in the same price range, which go deeper, can play louder and have many of the same qualities.

I procrastinated on setting up the 805 Diamonds in place of my 800 Diamonds. I was hesitant to replace those world-class flagship speakers that I had dialed in with a pair of small stand-mounted speakers that were one-fifth the price. I did not yet...

Bowers & Wilkins 805 Diamond Speaker System

The 1-inch tweeter dome is made of synthetic diamond that's grown with a chemical vapor deposition process that Bowers & Wilkins likens to "ice crystals forming on a window." Remarkably, although a substrate is used to form the dome, it is removed once...
