B&W 800 Series system review

The whole system integrates brilliantly

Revealing, gorgeous and a whole lot of fun, from subtle ambient nuances to thundering bass

Needs space to work at its best, and really merits high-quality partnering kit, too. Not cheap, either

One of the very best multichannel speaker systems around. If you’ve the space and cash, it has to be heard

B&W 800D

Make sure you find the right spot for the B&W 800D loudspeaker. Weighing in at 125 kg (275 lbs), you are not likely to want to change your mind often. Dispersion of over 60º arc (Horizontal) and over 10º arc (Vertical) will help you enjoy these...

B&W 800 Series 5.1-channel Speaker System

When B&W's groundbreaking Nautilus speaker came out, it was praised for its excellent sound and hailed as a marvel of fresh thinking and advanced technology. That engineering effort led to B&W's Nautilus 800 line, which has now morphed into a new range...

If truth be told, I have little use for diamonds in their conventional form. This probably stems from all the pomp and pageantry that surrounds them—not to mention my disdain for those people who drape themselves in the stones and attempt to outshine...

I fully admit to having considerably high expectations when I see the B&W logo on the front of a speaker. All the talk about the diamond tweeter that I had heard prior to this review, along with what I already know about B&W's midranges, woofers, and...

B&W 800D

I've owned a few speakers and still own some of them, none comes close to what the 800D can do. Great balance all over from deep deep bass to great highs. Some might think that it has to much bass, but this i simply because most people aren't used to...

B&W 800D

While I've found that many speakers have certain strenghths in one area or another. The 800D is the best all around speaker I've heard to date. Listening time is unlimited. Fatigueless. They thrive much better on quality high power of 500 watts or...

For my ears, the strengths supurb in every way
