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.

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...
