bowers and wilkins ‘800 series’ is their source of innovation. from their diamond revolution to adapting kevlar, pioneering technologies filter down through every range of speakers and products. the result behind seven years with a complete range, meeting requirements with more accuracy, better imaging for more precise stereo picture and above all, maximum sound pressure levels without distortion. the speakers are made possible by the skills in wood handling developed by bowers and wilkins.

almost every component in the ‘800 series’ are different

with techniques including the kind of steaming bending of wood used for generations in the construction of everything from ships to fine furniture, it was possible to make cabinets combining striking looks with rigidity, not to mention greatly enhanced acoustic properties. as a result, the ‘800 series’ models provide a successional adoption as monitors for recording and all stages of music production

the series is available in different colors and shades

all the cones are made with continuum kevlar  

the most compact headed model bowers and wilkins has ever made

bowers and wilkins are industry studio standard

the wood is shaped using traditional steam bending techniques

the speakers are hand finished 

each speaker is modeled and pressed
