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.
The Limited Edition Abbey Road 801’s
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.
Where it all started.
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.
Stunning attention to detail.
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.
