The Continuum midrange sits in an all-aluminium Turbine Head that Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins says is stiff and critically damped to eliminate unwanted resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrequency response is 15Hz to 28kHz (±3dB) with 90dB sensitivity and an 8Ω nominal impedance (3.0Ω minimum). Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins recommends 50W to 1000W into 8Ω, so it pairs with everything from a modest power amplifier to a very powerful one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 1221mm tall and 100.60kg each, the 801 D4 is a serious piece of equipment, and it rewards careful placement and a properly matched amplifier.
