I recently bought the 802 and they really do sound fantastic! Suddenly all my CD's and SACD's do sound so more open en get so much more détails. A real delight for the ears! Thank you B&W!
Just an overwhelming amount of hands-on construction. I first heard the 801's in NY at a known Long Island dealer who also presented a myriad amount of audio gear including Mark Levinson. I remembered the 801's were very detailed and lush. After seeing this video that encompasses the painstaking details bred into this speaker by a dedicated British manufacturer, I better understand the company's DNA that goes into every single unit. My only regret is that I never bought a pair of 801d's and agree with one post that B&W should have kept this incredible speaker in its current inventory. Magnificent.
No, I'm not saying that. But like VW, there are much more a "wannabe premium" brand. The result is visually beautiful, but the actual technical/sound result is really subject to debate. Also, like VW, they are "closet cheating" on their announced performances : 19 Hz announced for 803 D3, around 70 Hz mesured by german magasine(s), 8 ohms speakers going down to 3 ohms, and other stuff like this...
En tant que revendeur Belge ayant réussi à vendre DEUX paires d'enceinte modèle "monitor 808", (très haut de gamme expérimental de l'époque) j'ai été amené à visiter avec la délégation Belge, ces usines B&W en Angleterre. La vingtaine de personnes composant cette délégation, avions ainsi rencontré John Bowers. Fondateur de la marque Bowers & Wilkins et décédé en 1987. (Remerciement à Luc Vanderheyden, B&W benelux)
I still have and enjoy my DM305's that I purchased new back in the mid 90's... The technology that they put into this speaker is amazing... At low levels you don't even need a subwoofer... Not bad for a 6.5" woofer...
I love it. That explain why you charge a fair bit for a pair of speakers... I guess those boys and gals needs to get pay for their great efforts. Now I will happily save up and buy 802d.
Согласен полностью с вами! 20 лет слушаю их. Менять их просто неначто. А спорят лишь те, кто жалеет денег на этот бренд и те кто бесится и не любит фирму-только потому что не могут купить. Хают и обсирают, только всем понятно что только себя!
seu eu tivesse condições jamais teria mini systems na minha vida, mas tá bom, o que tenho me agrada, aos privilegiados meus parabéns, B&W é aquilo que podemos chamar: P E R F E I T O.
Would have been interesting to see a factory video from 1980's and see the difference. And they never should have stopped making the 801D..instead they should have applied a lower profit margin.The 801 is the heritage speaker & it should be in the line.
Never. I have the JBL K2 ---No JBL comes close. All due respect to JBL which yes are fantastic things of the past. Nothing compares to the level of technical evolution of a B&W
Yes its there the one that looks like a shell, weird looking made of special plastic, must cost a fortune thus days. I have from one dealer that the lower end models ( definitely nit the 800 series) are made in China now?
Това го видях с очите си на живо като бях в Англия при жена ми. Града е Брайтън и е лятна резиденция на Кралицата само на океана е.Нямам думи какво видях и чух в шоурума. Такова нещо не съм виждал и чувал.
If I wanted to listen to opera drowning out all dialogue, I'd go to rehearsals at Covent Garden. Not everyone wants to listen to La Traviata competing with machinery at 90db. You should have employed someone with an idea of sound mixing (and a directional mike turned down to -20db for machinery). 'A good ship spoiled for a ha'p'orth of tar'. An inspiring company, just 10 miles along the coast from where I live, in Brighton. They also repair Nakamichi cassette decks, at their service depot.
Такое производство-можно подумать для всех по карману эти гробы- приобретать---мы уж лучше на своих советских колонках S90 послушаем музыку-и то приятнее будет то-а сам процесс изготовления прикольно посмотреть.Не плохо конечно но в таких больших количествах и цены должны быть приемлемыми или почти за даром раздавать их людям-----и то не каждый приобретёт или захочет такое чудо-юдо взять себе--но бесплатно я бы взял.
If I could make a round room, shape of a hockey puck. One nautilus speaker middle room, rotation movement could be something slow, following planetary alingment. But how is this possible, for making a round room with a middle stand, requires clocksmith mechanics inside the stand, for making a cable connection. And ofcourse at the back of the roundroom, a 3D screen which would have to be bended for the backwall, allaround the room. From where would the entertainee, get on the visual floor? hmm
Its not a production it`s just a SYMPHONY!! Incredible and hard hand work. The loudspeakers filled with a human souls!
I recently bought the 802 and they really do sound fantastic! Suddenly all my CD's and SACD's do sound so more open en get so much more détails. A real delight for the ears! Thank you B&W!
🤗. THANKS A MILLION …FOR THE TOUR ..PRICELESS
I think I might’ve seen my speakers being made🤔😉 I hope you got a shirt with the tour 😊😍😍😍
Sve pohvale za Kvalitet i precizni rad na njima jer je to prava skola akustike

+Georgia Fan Like every VW car. "Overwhelming amount of hands on construction".
So you're saying B&W's are crap? lol

WOW beautiful place to work and know everything about B&W ,,i own B&W i love it

One day, i will be a owner of the greatest thing since slice bread. This are to die for. The craftsmanship and beauty is killer. 10 stars.
Мои уважения всем кто создаёт эти удивительные акустические системы!!!❤️
Voleo bih da radim u ovoj Firmi gde se prave pravi izvori zvuka na Planeti ovoj. poz veliki sa istocne Evrope iz🇷🇸
Great insight to the massive industry necessary to bring the listening experience into our living rooms.
Why do you say it is in Brighton??? The factory is in Worthing, 25km from Brighton!!!
Amazing staff and work !
Ja tive a oportunidade de ouvir essas caixas em ação, é surpreendente mesmo ver a qualidade no processo.
I love it. That explain why you charge a fair bit for a pair of speakers... I guess those boys and gals needs to get pay for their great efforts. Now I will happily save up and buy 802d.
That shell is super super fantastic!
Thats a damned sweet ass looking crossover!!!
C'est magnifique !
Valeu pelo post ver estas maravilhas sendo criadas é muito legal.
Great video. Is it just me or is that Kylo Ren working the B&W assembly line @ 3:22?
I caught that too. Undercover boss
It's funny, the making of the speakers will cause you to not be able to hear 😂
Bowers & Wilkins рулит, спору нет!
Согласен полностью с вами! 20 лет слушаю их. Менять их просто неначто. А спорят лишь те, кто жалеет денег на этот бренд и те кто бесится и не любит фирму-только потому что не могут купить. Хают и обсирают, только всем понятно что только себя!
The 800 en 802 are still manufactured in England! The other types first in Skandinavia but now indeed in China!
+Dirk De Meeter One of the machines they used had a danish note on it saying "Ingen berøring", which means "Do not touch"

P E R F E I T O.
28.08.2008 по приказу Зак Собрания Санкт-Петербурга меня убивали на работе за интерес к В&W.
God dam it!!!! some day ill own own one of these.
I would pay B&W to work there! I just want 4 free 802D's, and a center channel, and im good...
Luxo que uma ínfima parte da população mundial tem acesso.
Would have been interesting to see a factory video from 1980's and see the difference.
And they never should have stopped making the 801D..instead they should have applied a lower profit margin.The 801 is the heritage speaker & it should be in the line.
The perfect sound!!!....wow
Това го видях с очите си като бях при жена ми в Англия. Града е Брайдън и е лятна резиденция на Кралицата. Не ми се говори какво чух и видях шоурума !
Wow! Breathtaking! A truly work of art. I hope I can find someplace close to me where I can demo them.
I love my Matrix 802's Not much better out there.
Jay Lawrence Apart from Focal - which doesn’t need 2 500 watt welding blocks to sound good.
Never. I have the JBL K2 ---No JBL comes close. All due respect to JBL which yes are fantastic things of the past. Nothing compares to the level of technical evolution of a B&W
Awesome!
Impressionnant.
superbe
Love the original Nautilius, it is the ego of all B&W
Eu tambem ficaria muito feliz de trabalhar na B&W e com certeza teria um ótimo desconto na compra das mesmas ...
The best company in the World an best price in the market than other companies
Really amazing They doing good job
Eu amo tanto as caixas cxs desta marca,que trabalharia na sua linha de produção todos os dias com um sorrizão estampado no rosto...
Yes its there the one that looks like a shell, weird looking made of special plastic, must cost a fortune thus days. I have from one dealer that the lower end models ( definitely nit the 800 series) are made in China now?
B&W best speakers and also good value price ratio under 1000€.
justadrummervienna Loads of speakers that are better value than B&W If you haven’t been drinking their koolaid

Essayez donc Focal et leur gamme Utopia.
En plus, c'est fait en France ;)
rohhh!!! ça donne envie .... 22000euros la paire de 800d c'est ce que l'on appelle du haut de gamme
fenomenal
Yep my first eye-gasm !!
I bet the build and wholesale costs are £3k on these speakers with an £8k mark up.
What no matrix eight hundred
Showcase purpose. Lot of work for enclosure making
Maravilhosa caixa.. 👏👏👏
I've watched the whole video without music. background music for this video is irritating!
@FramusAZ Mark Murphy "Photograph" Album Lucky To Be Me
@MartinGilmour Fordi Danmark leverer produktionsmaskiner til B&W :-)
I understand why they are expensive !!!
B&W Factory Made in England
セコい特許取りおってw でもNautilusは良かった。
ALGUNA ALMA GENEROSA ME REGALARIA UNOS BOWERS Y WILKINS , ? SOY UN AMANTE DE LA BUENA MUSICA¡¡
STOP KILLING MY EARS!!!!!.
Awesome
Где респираторы?
Can't beat real sound.. It costs but it's worh it. I have ATC's.
I remember the guys who used to build them in the arches beneath Kew Bridge, in the late 1970s.
I do not see Chinese?
Thank you. I have a P4 model.
Get a % itge if you work there?? ^.^
That's why the price.
ага вот где эльфы делают новогодние подарки ,только на всех не хватает и музон не очень ,диджея не хватает
buy their little brother "685" , I've got them they are affordable and brilliant !
B&W хорошие,точные мониторы.Но имеют слегка искусственный саунд. Они не точно воспроизводят тембр голоса и инструментов.
Российские мониторы намного точнее воспроизводят тембр голоса и инструментов! Аналогов нету! ))
