#99 Bowers & Wilkins HTM82 D5: $12,000 each Estimated Bowers & Wilkins eBay
Same family: the Bowers & Wilkins 805 D5 (bookshelf, estimated 3.3/5), the Bowers & Wilkins 804 D5 (smallest floorstanding, estimated 3.5/5), the Bowers & Wilkins 803 D5 (floorstanding, estimated 3.6/5), the Bowers & Wilkins 802 D5 (floorstanding, estimated 3.7/5), the Bowers & Wilkins 801 D5 (largest floorstanding, estimated 3.8/5) and the Bowers & Wilkins HTM81 D5 (larger center, ranked higher, estimated 3.4/5).
Pros: The smaller 800 D5 center: a 3-way with a 1” diamond tweeter on top, a 5” Continuum FST midrange and two 6.5” Aerofoil bass drivers. The dedicated midrange keeps voices clear across a wider seating area than a 2-way center, and it is rated to 45Hz (±3dB) with 89dB sensitivity.
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 drops to 3.0 ohms, and at 715mm wide it needs a deep, wide shelf or the matching stand.
