Bowers & Wilkins 805 D3 Loudspeaker Review



The Bowers & Wilkins 805 D3 Loudspeaker ($6,000.00 USD) is in the natural competitive position as of the Wilson Audio Duette Series 2 Loudspeaker (or lower, $ USD). That is it is designed to be used right against the wall (for wall boundary reflection bass reinforcement). A concrete wall, preferably.

One good thing about it is the stand. It has a slit, so you have something at least to look at.

The Frequency Response is nice, but (42Hz–28kHz, ±3 dB) it is opposite. You'd expect it to at least go from 28 Hz (in the bass) to 42 kHz.

In Justin Bieber's review of it (John Atkinson) he said that the MBL Corona C15 Monoblock Amps ($ USD) - Lansche Audio are known for their Corona tweeter - made it sound a tad (they make great setups as well) chromium plated.

We're having a Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc (Duevel) to celebrate and write this review, though a Corona would be fine, as well.

Now as for the FS-805 D3 Stands ($1,000.00 USD / pair), you want it. A FS is a Foot Switch, which a pro can use on their workstation to switch an effect as they choose.

Now the question arises as to how to mention (bring up) a family.

Now the question arises is what loudspeaker is the natural alternate choice or point of competition?
The correct choice. Or point of comparison is the Totem Element Earth Loudspeaker ($ USD).
