Bowers & Wilkins has introduced its new flagship 800 D5 series of speakers, featuring models such as the 801 D5, 802 D5, 803 D5, 804 D5, and the 805 D5 bookshelf speaker. The series aims to deliver high-fidelity sound by minimizing interference and maximizing the performance of connected source equipment.
In demonstrations, the 800 D5 series has been paired with Marantz’s flagship 10 series components, including the MODEL 10 integrated amplifier, the SACD 10 player, and the LINK 10n network preamplifier. The MODEL 10 utilizes a custom dual-mono symmetrical Class D power amplifier developed in collaboration with PURIFI, delivering 500W + 500W at 4Ω.
To showcase the full lineup, the audio specialty store Teleon in Akihabara will host a listening event on October 31, 2026. The session will feature all five models from the 800 D5 series, supported by high-end equipment from TAD, including the TAD-C700 preamplifier and TAD-M700S power amplifier.
