B W 802 Diamond Loudspeaker вђ Reviews Toneaudio Magazine Quite cooperative. with a somewhat high sensitivity of 90db, but more importantly, a decidedly tube friendly crossover, the 802 diamonds should present a formidable experience regardless of amplification. tube amplifiers in the 20 50wpc range have no problems driving these speakers to more than reasonable levels. First sight of the new b&w 800 series diamond models immediately called to mind that much quoted comment from a nineteenth century french journalist: "plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose".
B W Bowers Wilkins Diamond 802 D1 Pair Rosenut Excellent W Distance to the speaker: roughly 2.5 times the tweeter height (measured from the floor) to the ear as a minimum distance. so on an 802 d3 the tweeter height is roughly 120cm to the centre of the diaphragm to the floor. multiply by 2.5 and you get 300cm or 3m (9ft 10in)." next: bowers & wilkins 802 d3 diamond loudspeaker page 2 ». Description. the innovations b&w has included in its new 800 series include tweeters with diamond domes, redesigned kevlar fst midrange cones, new woofer diaphragm materials, and a new crossover configuration. and while to the casual observer the 802d may look much like its predecessor, the nautilus 802, there are external changes as well. The 800 diamond series is the third generation of bowers & wilkins’s most sophisticated range, with iconic looks that date back to the late 1990s. the 802 diamond is one step down in price from the company’s current flagship, the $24,000 pair 800 diamond. and while b&w’s lower priced speakers, like most, are manufactured in china, the 800. The diamond tweeter has been a b&w trademark in recent years and represents perhaps the purest form of high technology in loudspeakers. with exceptional stiffness and low mass, it is designed to deliver a razor sharp yet clean and uncoloured treble all the way up to 28 khz, measured linearly with only 3 db roll off.

The early 802 was a strong, punchy, and engaging performer with great elegance under duress, a relatively smooth tone balance, and a lot of fine detail. unfortunately, the series 80’s original design proved to be troublesome. because the wooden midrange enclosure tended to break with age, b&w designed a more durable and better damped head. At 88.10 kg per speaker, the 802 has become heavier than all its predecessors. i felt that and the handling was like the 800 d3, although the speaker lacks the depth, width, and height of the bigger brother. the 802 d4 has a price tag of 26.000 euros in germany, which puts it between the 800 d3 (30.000 euros) and the 802 d3 (22.000) euros.
