Bowers & Wilkins’ original 801 speaker was launched back in 1979. At the time, these odd-looking three-way designs were the very best speakers the brand could make. They were aimed primarily at the quality studio market, alongside those who wanted no-compromise speakers at home.
Over time, further 800 series models were added, allowing the lineup to appeal to a wider range of users rather than just the studio world that the originals prioritised.
