Product Details

Description

The Turbine Head matters. It is the structural midrange enclosure machined from aluminum — a dedicated housing for the Continuum FST driver that isolates it acoustically from the bass cabinet below. In the 801 D5 and 802 D5, it is a given. In the 803 D5, it is the entry point. The 803 D5 brings the full trio — Diamond dome tweeter, Turbine Head with 130mm Continuum FST midrange, and two 180mm Aerofoil bass drivers — into B&W's most compact headed floorstander. The result is a speaker that achieves 90dB sensitivity, extends to 19Hz within ±3dB, and maintains the same distortion benchmarks as its larger siblings — in a cabinet that is 301mm wide and 63.7kg. For listeners building serious two-channel or home theater systems in rooms that aren't purpose-built around the 801 or 802, the 803 D5 is the speaker worth starting from.
