The B&W 803D is a flagship model in the 800 Series Diamond line, renowned for its studio-quality sound and advanced acoustic engineering. It features a 1-inch diamond dome tweeter housed in a Nautilus tube for superior high-frequency dispersion and clarity, a 6-inch Continuum cone FST midrange driver for lifelike vocals, and three 7-inch Rohacell cone bass drivers delivering deep, accurate bass. The cabinet employs Matrix bracing and Flowport technology to reduce resonance and enhance soundstage realism. It supports a frequency response of 35 Hz to 28 kHz (+/-3 dB), sensitivity of 90 dB, and nominal impedance of 8 ohms. Recommended amplifier power ranges from 50 to 500 watts. The speaker is available in finishes such as Rosenut, Cherrywood, and Piano Black Gloss, with dimensions approximately 1164 mm (H) x 306 mm (W) x 457 mm (D) and a weight of about 41 kg (90 lbs). It is designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality with a relatively compact footprint for a high-performance floorstanding speaker.
