DESCRIPTION

New My-Ti Tweeter
Stiff, light and with high efficiency, the new Mylar®/titanium-composite tweeter offers far better high-frequency performance without the high-Q breakup mode associated with metal domes and cones.

Edge-Driven Tweeters
With more voice-coil surface area to dissipate heat, these tweeters provide higher power handling than smaller balanced-dome tweeters.

Reduced Nominal Impedance
The new GTO speakers have a nominal impedance of 2 ohms.  Therefore, they extract all the power from amplifiers and head units, which are normally designed to increase their power when driving 2-ohm loads.  The actual minimum impedance of GTO speakers is around 3 ohms, thus offering enough safety against potential overheating of low-quality BTL amps in less expensive head units.

Low-Q Woofer Design
The improved woofer parameters (lower Qts) offer good bass extension and better transient response in typical mounting locations.

Plus One® Cones
By offering more cone surface than competing models of the same size, the new GTO speakers provide higher efficiency and better bass response.

Built-In Tweeter-Level Control
Most models feature a switch to reduce tweeter output level to match personal listening preferences or different mounting locations.

Bowers & Wilkins 800 Diamond - Cover star for Stereophile Magazine

The flagship model from the 800 Series Diamond has received a glowing review from Stereophile Magazine in the United States.

Reviewed by Kalman Robinson, the speaker was also the cover star for the May issue of the magazine.

Some of the highlights of the review include: “The 800 Diamond sounded absolutely devastating with really good recordings, particularly in its revelation of voices, both solo and in groups.”

“The 800 Diamond’s bass capabilities were both ample and tight, as revealed by the fourth movement of Mendelssohn’s Organ Sonata 1 in F… as the pedal notes descended, each shudder was not an ambiguous roar but had a clearly discernable pitch.”

In conclusion, the reviewer found the 800 Diamond “was, overall, simply a pleasure to listen to. Its overall honesty lets the 800 Diamond get the most information out of all recordings, without, as far as I could tell, any practical limitations on dynamic range.”
