For audiophiles and music lovers, some names resonate with a certain magic. "Bowers & Wilkins" and "Abbey Road Studios" are two such names. For 45 years, these two titans of the audio world have shared a unique and enduring partnership. Now, to celebrate this incredible legacy, they've collaborated on something truly special: the 801 Abbey Road Limited Edition loudspeaker.
Since 1980, when Abbey Road's engineers first adopted the original 801 as their reference monitor, successive generations of the 800 Series have been a mainstay in the legendary studio's control rooms. This new limited-edition speaker is a celebration of that history.
So, what makes this limited edition so special?
A Historic Design: The 801 Abbey Road Limited Edition is a bespoke version of the flagship 801 D4 Signature. It features a stunning Vintage Walnut cabinet, inspired by the classic instruments that have graced Abbey Road's studios. The design is complemented by a rich red Connolly leather trim, a nod to the chairs in the famous Studio Two control room.
Unrivaled Sound: At its heart, this speaker is all about "True Sound." It boasts a Diamond Dome tweeter, a Continuum™ cone FST™ midrange, and two Aerofoil™ Profile bass cones. This combination delivers a sound that's as close to the original recording as you can get, with breathtaking clarity, detail, and realism.
An Exclusive Collectible: This is a truly limited-edition release, with only 140 pairs being produced worldwide. Each pair comes with a unique identifying plate and a specially commissioned book that chronicles the history of the Bowers & Wilkins and Abbey Road partnership, complete with rare photographs.
The 801 Abbey Road Limited Edition is more than just a loudspeaker: it's a piece of music history. It's a chance to experience your favorite music with the same fidelity and precision as the artists and engineers who created it.
Whether you're a dedicated audiophile, a music historian, or simply someone who appreciates the finest in craftsmanship and sound, this is a release you won't want to miss.
