I don't own the 800s but I own the 703 also made in the UK. My son pushed the speaker and it fell on the hard wood floors. I cannot explain the sound it made to you - it was enough to wake the dead. I picked up the speaker and I thought it'd have some damage. I examined it and was shocked to not find a single scratch on the maple cabinet. I thought, for sure, the tweeter and cones are damaged. I start playing music on it and I detect the same beautiful sound it had before the fall. I thought it's a matter of time that the speaker would break. That was 13 years ago. The speaker has seen more action than demo speakers at stores. I would not be surprised if the drop actually improved the sound. Take a bow B&W! Take a bow!

Nearly 30 years ago I had my first experience with high end audio when, as a teen, I walked into a store and the salesman led me to a room containing Conrad Johnson separates and B&W Matrix 801 speakers. I sat there and listened to the entirety of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album. I've been a fan of quality audio ever since, and B&W is a big part of that joy!

Years ago, looking for bookshelf speakers for my Kawai digital piano and recording studio the hi-fidelity store in Orlando carried over a half-dozen brands to choose from. Some sounded good for jazz; others for rock; others for classical, including solo piano. But of them all only the B&W Nautilus 805's were sonically superb for every type of music. And with Dynaudio's powered 10" sub the clarity of tone and the harmonic balance has held me captive to this day.

Then invested in a pair or 803 series 2’s in the late 90’s and I’m still using them, they’ve never let me down and I still love them, but I’m now eyeing those 801’s with that look that Bernard Mathews would give a turkey!

Great video Terry, thanks for this and everything you do. Be happy to hear the new speakers, but I'm not so hyped for some of the design choices! I do prefer my speakers to have more of a flush mount to the cabinet and I'm not keen on the 'projecting cylinder' design they have used here, but I'm sure many others will like it. Really enjoyed the factory tour and this gives us some great insight!

I have had the first generation 801s since the mid 80's. I was impressed by the fact that London Records were using them as studio monitors so took a listen and was sold. I have found no reason to swap them out and find the newer generations quite ugly and distracting. Perhaps designed by Salvador Dali but I am sure they sound great. Also in various rooms I have the CM5s and CM1s with subs. My listening to quality sound began with a pair of Altec Lansing Voice of the Theaters in the 60s then gravitated to ARs then back to the big boys. I know good sound when I hear it. Brits have been in the forefront of this technology from the beginning. Great video, very interesting.

Nice video Terry it was lovely to see inside the factory and see how they do things their. The quick bass that you mentioned might have something to do with the amplification. I've got the Michi S5 stereo Poweramp which has according to stereophile a measurement of over a kilowatt of power per channel into 4 ohm's. And I can testified that the grip and speed of bass with that particular amplifier is among the best there is out there. Can't wait for you to get them into your room and give them a good seeing too.👍🎧😂

I have 21 B & W speakers in my car - the sound systems is also B & W. I haven’t noticed any leather aroma emanating from the speakers- probably because most of the interior is also leather, including the headlining which is suede. I use B & W headphones at home, have a pair of speaker boxes with two speakers each in my work shed. The latte are fairly large, and I bought them about 25 years ago- unfortunately my lounge is not nearly as large as previous homes I’ve owned , so I make do with a Denton system. Now. I must say that I envy you your tour of the factory & warehouse, back in thr 60s & 79s, I used to to do audits a lot of sound mixing & had a a couple of mixing desks and some heavy duty amplifiers. These days my power or guitar amplifier is limited to a Vox VT60+. It looks somewhat similar to the AC 30s, but there the similarity ends!

As an owner of the 803 D3, biamped by a Parasound A51, I am very satisfied by the sound. I will not listen to a 800 before I am willing to make that step. The new D4 looks great. I think its easier to manfacture because the d3 has a cabinet where the top looks in one piece with the sides. The 805 D4 looks like a step up to the d3’s?! The d3 needed an additional sub, but when I listened to it, for me there seemed to a “whole” between base and mid. Do these d4’s have more bass?

A lot of people dismiss these because of the initial sound, they need at least a week or two before they break in, but when they do break in it's really the end of the audio rainbow, my system is a HT-audio hybrid, in both applications these bables sing

TY for the factory tour with fitting commentary; that was fascinating. It's worth noting the 'authorized dealer' business model inflates these prices significantly, by probably a third? So they really need not be that expensive. When I was young and penniless, I used to fantasize about owning this type of gear; now, I am older, have the financial means, but I find I am perfectly happy with my supremely lo-fi stuff, the fantasies long gone. One thing never changed: I still listen to music, every day. Cheers.

​@@PursuitPerfectSystem How is it that Richer Sounds manage to undercut just about every other dealer out there, with products that are maybe not as exclusive as the B&W Nautilus, or 800 diamond series, but unarguably, audiophile quality? They make their margins, because they sell more products. Undoubtedly a lot of the products they do sell, will be made in China, but not all. And the Chinese made products will usually be the ones that end up being the most aggressively discounted, because discerning music lovers don't want them. If B&W went down the route of selling their top end products via Richer Sounds, with a discount of say, 10% or so, then I reckon they would sell more, especially their British made products. But in a way, I'm glad they hold an element of exclusivity, as it gives many of us something to aspire to. And for now, I will have to make do with my Mordaunt Short Aviano 6's, and Monitor Audio Bronze 200's, which I swap out from time to time, just so I can experience a change of dynamic, and aural experience.

I’ve had 3 sets of B&W floorstanders and found the integration by B&W of any more than two speakers in a cabinet to be problematic. I sold each version of the 600 series, CM’s etc due to this. I do have 3 pairs of 805’s from the original s to the D3’s which are simply brilliant. So as for the 805 D4 I’m very keen but the 804 D4, unless they have sorted the odd bass response, no thanks. 803’s look nice but the bass could be an issue.

Fantastic video factory sir; I just hope they have improved the sound of the new series as all the attention seems to be on the cabinet which looks outstanding; I have already listened to a 803d3 and the bass performance was disappointing, soundstage stay within the height and sides of the speakers; l was only satisfied with the mid-range.

Really nice vid - absolutely surprised by how much in-plant footage you were able to get. I really want a pair of 802s but am just a little shocked by the big jump in pricing vs the D3 series. Very eager to get a listen and to hear your own audition impressions.

@@PursuitPerfectSystem you really did a very very nice job. I have watched your video 3 times now. Sound, use of stills, and your genuine enthusiasm all blend together so well - aside from some of the deeper technical bits revealed in the B&W video, I like yours better!

@@markwilliford7471 Thanks Mark, they have the luxury of knowing all the technical info and having probably all the time in the world to get all the footage, I only had a couple of hours. The stills (well spotted by the way) are all video but I freeze framed them to save on shakiness so they are easier to see. Shaky video maybe works in Borne movies but not for much else haha

@@PursuitPerfectSystem Classic! I don't even like it in Bourne movies, but yes - I get it. The finite element cabinet distortion simulations and exploded driver views of course require inside access. You did an amazing job of communicating the tech without that and I feel like your video will actually speak to a broader audience. I'm just thankful B&W changed the grills from the D3 style! I still have little ones that visit from time to time, and it is important for the grills not to detract too much sonically or visually when in place. I would really liked to have seen grills using the same mesh as found on the tweeter, but hey, I'm too old to wait another five years for that! Question - was there any sort of briefing on how all those mechanical (nut and bolt) connections on the new metal internals will be kept tight over years of vibration exposure? I did see lock-tite being used in some of the shots, but that was for the smaller bits (speaker mounting hardware). The integration of metal is brilliant if this is done properly. From a structural engineering perspective, mixing materials is a great way to break resonances and provide additional stiffness where it is most needed. Sorry one more question - I noted that you said Innuos were being used to serve files on one of the systems you listened to. Do you recall what model? Have reviewed any of Innuos server/streamers? I am torn between Innuos Zen Mk3, Zenith Mk3, and the Aurender ACS10. One more time - because I know how much effort it took to produce your video - just an excellent production!

B&Ws like toe in, at least if you want the best focus and extension in the upper range. I settled on perfect equilateral triangle in my setup.

i still have a pair of 804D2, they sound so natural and high revealing with no stress at all. just a perfect speaker for my small room. msrp was 7000€ back in the day...now you have to pay 8000€ for just 805D4...sorry but that is absolutly crazy overpriced. 12500 for only 804D4...ah man. you were getting 802D2 for arround 16000€ back in the day. 800D2 was 22000€ if i remember correctly.
