About the DM3000

The Bowers & Wilkins DM3000 is a high-fidelity 3-way closed floorstanding speaker system manufactured in England from 1983 to 1986. It features two 160 mm bass/midrange drivers, one 26 mm dome tweeter, and a passive radiator for enhanced bass response. The design includes a first order difference filter between the two bass/midrange units, pushing sound reproduction closer to reality compared to its predecessor, the DM2000. It has a frequency response of 20 Hz to 22 kHz, an impedance of 8 ohms, and a sensitivity of 89 dB. The speaker requires a minimum recommended amplifier power of 80 watts. The cabinet is available in finishes such as black ash, natural oak, walnut, and rosewood, with dimensions of 985 x 310 x 400 mm and a weight of 35 kg. The DM3000 is noted for its clean, punchy bass delivered by a passive 10-inch subwoofer and silk dome tweeter, making it suitable for large rooms and listeners who appreciate volume and detailed soundstage. It has single binding posts and requires quality amplification and floor decoupling for optimal performance. Original
