Richard Gresham Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Further information: B&W 805 Diamond Speakers & matching stands – Piano Black. A lot of quality web information on the 805 Diamond Series, but suffice to say they are a high quality set of B&W stand-mount speakers. *All original condition. *Bass/mid drivers, excellent condition. *Tweeters, excellent condition. *Cabinets, present very nice overall....Few minor marks to piano black gloss, only noticeable from (very) up close. One cabinet has small cosmetic mark on top back right (see pic) once again only noticed up close. * Stands are in good condition and heavy (solid cast base) at even without sand fill. They have internal cable routing and can be filled with sand as they have a ‘gasket plate’ in the bottom of the riser. (I have removed the sand for ease of shipping, but have it available for local buyers.) Speakers can be ‘attached’ to the top plate via 8mm hex bolts which are included along with a set of spikes. * Grills are in very good plus condition. Would prefer a local sale so they can be demo’d (Tennyson, Brisbane), however can be packed, shipped & insured via Pack and Send at buyers cost. Speaker Type: Two-way, vented-box system Drivers: One 6.5” woven Kevlar mid/bass, one 1” diamond dome tweeter Frequency response: 49Hz–28kHz (–3dB) Sensitivity: 88dB (2.83V/1m) Impedance: 8 ohms Recommended amplifier power: 50W–120W into 8 ohms Dimensions: 420mm H x 240mm W x 350mm D Weight: 12kg Stands: 8kg (excluding fill), 600mm H x (Base) 280mm W x 380mm D Photos: PLEASE READ If you include any reference to pricing whatsoever in this section (excluding RRP), your ad will not be approved If you are advertising multiple items, you must post one bulk price only, or post seperate ads for each item If you don't include photographs of the actual item being sold, your ad will not be approved You understand that a reasonable donation for selling fees is expected upon successful sale of your item - if you have previously sold items and not made a donation, your advertisement may not be approved.

Tony - I'm pretty sure they are D1 as the name plate does not mention D2 and a few of the blogs I read mentioned a change in the logos on the grills and speaker from D1 to D2 - to which these matched the D1 logos. Happy to be corrected though. Most of what I could glean from the blogs was that there was very little changed from D1 to D2. Edited July 20, 2021 by Pioneer Lux Man Additional Info 1
Ray H Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 I think they may be D2 as well. The silver rings around drivers were D2 as was the logo on grilles, from B&W (nautilus & d1), Bowers & Wilkins D2 on. Stand to be corrected though.

Yes - they are definitely D2 - have had similar comments from other posts. Edited July 23, 2021 by Richard Gresham Correction
