Bowers & Wilkins has introduced its flagship 800 Series Diamond speakers, marking the brand's 60th anniversary. The new range includes seven models, with the standout being the 801 D5, priced at £43,000 (approximately $65,000). During a brief 45-minute demo at High End Vienna, initial impressions suggested that the 801 D5 delivers enhanced resolution and a balanced sound profile, particularly when paired with high-end components like the Mark Levinson 626 preamp and 632 power amp. The demo featured tracks that showcased the speakers' ability to produce three-dimensional sound and integrated bass, with strong performance noted across various genres. Despite the challenges posed by the demo environment, which included competing acoustics, the 801 D5 demonstrated impressive dynamic capabilities. Bowers & Wilkins aims to further explore the speakers' potential in a more suitable setting, as they seek to establish the 801 D5 as a classic addition to their Diamond lineup.
