The 804 D4: Where the 800 Series Diamond Meets Real-World Listening

The Bowers & Wilkins 804 D4 sits within the flagship 800 Series Diamond range — a line that represents Bowers & Wilkins' most rigorous engineering work. The 804 D4 is a full floorstanding loudspeaker, bringing the core technologies of the 800 Series Diamond into a form that works in a wider range of rooms and systems than the larger models above it in the range.

Diamond Dome Tweeter

The 804 D4 uses Bowers & Wilkins' diamond dome tweeter — the same technology found at the very top of the 800 Series range. Diamond is the hardest known material and produces a dome that is effectively rigid across the entire audible frequency range and well beyond it, eliminating the breakup modes that affect softer dome materials. The result is treble reproduction of exceptional precision and control, with no colouration introduced by the tweeter itself.

Continuum Cone Midrange

The midrange driver uses Bowers & Wilkins' Continuum cone — a woven material developed specifically for the 800 Series Diamond. Continuum replaced the Kevlar cone used in previous generations and was designed to suppress the particular coloration that woven cone materials can introduce. It operates within a dedicated midrange enclosure, isolating it from the bass drivers and allowing it to work without interference.

Biomimetic Suspension

The 804 D4 introduces Biomimetic Suspension to the bass and midrange drivers — a spider assembly whose open lattice structure is derived from natural forms. It reduces air turbulence within the driver assembly, lowering distortion and improving the clarity of low-level detail that lesser designs obscure.

Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top

The tweeter module sits above the main cabinet on a decoupled mount, removing it from the enclosure entirely. This arrangement eliminates cabinet-borne vibration reaching the tweeter and ensures that the high-frequency reproduction is free from the resonances that a conventional flush-mounted tweeter would be subject to.

Technical Specifications

Who Is This For?

This listing is for the buyer who wants genuine 800 Series Diamond performance — diamond dome tweeter, Continuum cone midrange, Biomimetic Suspension — at a price that reflects ex-demonstration status rather than new retail. If you have been considering the 804 D4 and the new price has given you pause, this is the opportunity. The White finish is relatively uncommon and suits rooms where a speaker that does not disappear visually is an asset rather than a compromise.
