B&W 804S Floorstanding Speakers – Black Ash

A good fully working pair of this ‘baby’ floorstander from B&W. Lots cheaper and in our opinion far better value than the later D versions… Only minor blemishes on one cabinet – please see photographs. They will come professionally packaged on a pallet with grilles, spikes and of course you’ll also get our normal 3 month warranty. UK shipping only sorry – collection welcome.
B&W Say….
The 804S is a more compact version of the 803S. Exactly the same midrange and tweeter configuration is used, but bass is supplied by two smaller 6.5” diameter Rohacell® cone drivers. This model is ideal for the medium size listening room – elegant and unobtrusive.
Silver coating the magnet pole in the tweeter helps extend its high-end response. The midrange driver utilizes a powerful Neodymium-Iron-Boron magnet, which ensures incredibly low levels of harmonic distortion necessary to reproduce programme with full clarity to high output levels.
Our crossovers use only air-cored inductors, again for lowest distortion, and capacitors developed and optimized in conjunction with one of the world’s foremost manufacturers. And all contacts are gold plated, to ensure long-term freedom from corrosion.
At B&W, we have always followed John Bowers’ original philosophy of combining the art and science of acoustic design to create simply a better product, the objective always being to get the
maximum amount of enjoyment and fulfilment from listening to music or watching movies.
The original Nautilus 800 Series contained a raft of new technologies that propelled it to being probably the best selling high-end speaker range in the world. Since then, our team of research and development engineers have been striving to improve performance still further.
