60 Years In The Making: Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond D5
Bowers & Wilkins introduces the new D5 range with a host of new technologies and design refinements to further assert its status as the world’s most revered and iconic range of high-end loudspeakers.
June 2026: In its 60th year, renowned British audio brand Bowers & Wilkins proudly unveils the all-new flagship 800 Series Diamond. Representing the fifth generation of the iconic range to feature the world-renowned Diamond Dome tweeter, the new D5 generation introduces an extensive suite of new technologies and design refinements, further cementing its status as one of the world’s most revered high-end loudspeaker ranges.
Sixty years in the making, the new 800 Series Diamond is the culmination of decades of engineering excellence, driven by relentless experimentation and refinement. From its iconic design — where science shapes art — to the latest evolution of Bowers & Wilkins’ most advanced audio technologies, D5 is the most sophisticated loudspeaker range the brand has ever created, and the ultimate expression of John Bowers’ True Sound philosophy.
Designed, like every Bowers & Wilkins loudspeaker, to deliver an uncompromisingly accurate reproduction of the original recording, the new D5 generation will appeal equally to discerning hi-fi enthusiasts and music industry professionals seeking the most realistic sound reproduction possible.
The new 800 Series Diamond range features seven models, beginning with the two-way 805 D5 stand-mount speaker. That’s joined by a series of three-way floorstanding models, including the 804 D5, 803 D5, 802 D5 and the most revered model of all, the 801 D5. For home theatre use, the HTM81 D5 and HTM82 D5 provide a pair of high-performance centre channel speakers to complete the range.
The latest generation of 800 Series Diamond is the ultimate expression of our unrelenting pursuit of the perfect loudspeaker.
Revealed to the world in June at HIGH END Vienna and available to buy from 9th September, the new 800 Series Diamond has been engineered for audio connoisseurs who demand the very best in performance, quality and design, and for studio professionals who require the most accurate and revealing sound possible.
It took Bowers & Wilkins 60 years to make speakers this good. Listen, and you’ll see.
