Customers have good things to say about the 803 D4 Diamond speakers. The sound quality is surprisingly good when used in a properly treated room. There are no negative comments about the product.
What Power Amplifier is best for this B & W 803 D4 pair for max output?
We've used amplifiers ranging from 60W all the way up to 500W. We'd recommend staying away from using an AVR to power these speakers. Look for a good integrated amplifier, a dedicated pre-amplifier with a separate amplifier or add a separate amplifier to an AVR if you already have one.
What is the maximum power handling of the speaker?
The peak power handling of this speaker is 500 watts.
Does the speaker support wireless multi-room audio?
This speaker does not support wireless multi-room audio.
What are the dimensions of the speaker?
The speaker is 45.87 inches tall, 14.06 inches wide, and 12.12 inches deep.
What is the purpose of the Aluminium Plate in the cabinet?
The Aluminium Plate reinforces the top of the cabinet to increase cabinet stiffness.
Prized in highly specialised industrial applications, the unique properties of diamond make for a near-perfect tweeter material. Our diamond domes are grown like crystals in super-heated furnaces under laboratory conditions before being cut to produce our tweeter domes.
Precisely milled from a single billet of aluminum to better resist resonance, the improved tweeter enclosure features an elongated form with a longer tube-loading system. You'll experience more open high frequencies from the diamond tweeter.
Continnum is a woven composite that blends control with flexibility. The result is breathtaking clarity. Hear voices, guitars and bass instruments with precision and transparency.
Our all-new Biomimetic Suspension revolutionises midrange cone performance by greatly reducing the unwanted air pressure and coloration that a conventional fabric spider can generate. The result? Midrange transparency you wouldn’t believe possible.
Hear the sound, not the cabinet. This all-aluminium enclosure is a phenomenally stiff and inert housing for the crucial midrange cone, carefully damped to avoid unwanted resonances and decoupled from the bass enclosure and the tweeter body. The result? The most realistic midrange yet.
Advanced computer modeling, carbon fiber and a syntactic core are used to produce a cone with maximum stiffness where it’s needed most. This optimised shape means the cone displays pistonic behaviour further up the audible range, producing precise, controlled and utterly lifelike bass.
The front and sides of the cabinet are formed in one continuous curve, held together with a spine of solid aluminium. The curved front means less baffling around the drive units so you'll enjoy greater dispersion and less cabinet reflection for a more holographic sound.
The all-new aluminium top section significantly upgrades the mechanical stiffness of the cabinet for reduced resonance and greater clarity.
Interlocking solid plywood panels with aluminium bracing reinforce loudspeaker cabinet walls at key stress points. This reduces cabinet resonances so you can enjoy all of the fine midrange and bass details in your music and movies.
The top of the speaker features an aluminium top-plate, covered in all-new Leather by Connolly trim. We use luxurious, full-grain black leather for Gloss Black and Satin Rosenut finishes, and a light grey leather for White and Satin Walnut.
Remains acoustically transparent while protecting the speaker's components.
This model is available in Gloss Black, Rosenut, Satin Walnut and White.
