The tweeter housing has an all-new grille, and the cabinet has an all-new aluminium top section for extra stiffness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrequency response runs from 15Hz to 28kHz (±3dB), sensitivity is 90dB, and nominal impedance is 8Ω with a 3.0Ω minimum. Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins recommends 50W to 1,000W into 8Ω, so it suits serious amplification in a room with the space to use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 1,221mm tall and 100.6kg per speaker, the 801 D4 Signature is a placement and delivery project rather than a drop-in.
