#154 Bowers & Wilkins 804 D5: $25,000 per pair Estimated Bowers & Wilkins eBay
Older model: the Bowers & Wilkins 804 D4 (ranked lower, estimated 3.4/5).
Same family: the Bowers & Wilkins 805 D5 (bookshelf, estimated 3.3/5), the Bowers & Wilkins 803 D5 (larger floorstanding, ranked higher, estimated 3.6/5), the Bowers & Wilkins 802 D5 (larger floorstanding, ranked higher, estimated 3.7/5), the Bowers & Wilkins 801 D5 (larger floorstanding, ranked higher, estimated 3.8/5), the Bowers & Wilkins HTM82 D5 (smaller center, estimated 3.3/5) and the Bowers & Wilkins HTM81 D5 (larger center, estimated 3.4/5).
Pros: The smallest tower in the 800 Series Diamond D5: a 3-way with a 1” diamond dome tweeter, a 5” Continuum cone FST midrange and two 6.5” Aerofoil bass drivers. B&W rates it down to 19Hz (±3dB) in-room and 89dB sensitivity, so it fills a medium room without a subwoofer.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the 800 D4 models it replaces. Bowers & Wilkins’ house voicing, which the measured HTM81 D4 showed as a 4.9dB spread across the listening window, is likely to carry over, so expect a less neutral balance than similarly priced Revel or KEF models. The impedance falls to 3.0 ohms, which needs an amplifier that can deliver current.
