B&W Signature Diamond

When it comes to ingenious designs and unparalleled quality, the British speaker manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins is simply the cream of the crop. Their latest Signature Diamond is all about pricy diamonds and marble.

B&W proudly present their new two-way floor-standing speakers, offering new levels of musical clarity, image precision, and detail retrieval. No wonder these guys ordered a press release that would put to shame even the most sophisticated art exhibit.

According to this press release, each speaker is enclosed in a 1-meter high Matrix braced cylindrical and elliptical form enclosure finished in white or Wakame veneer. The tweeter pod is carved from Italian Grigio Carmica or Belgian Black marble, which is supposed to not only look incredibly good, but also improves the mechanical and acoustic performance of the tweeter. Apparently, no two speakers will ever be exactly the same, due to natural differences in the material, so you can be sure you’ll get a unique speaker every time you buy one. That is, if you can afford to spend £11,000 for each.

Furthermore, the Signature Diamond has a pure “Diamond Dome Nautilus” tube-loaded 25mm tweeter in the decoupled top-mounted marble pod. The Diamond Dome Nautilus tweeter uses diamond crystals to strengthen the tweeter dome to produce a cleaner, purer sound. As if this thing wasn’t already oozing with style, B&W includes a new Kevlar cone 180mm bass/midrange driver featuring an innovative new noiseless phase-plug. And that’s not all; an ear-tuned first-order crossover network is present via the extraordinary wide linear bandwidth of the drivers, while a downward-firing reflex port dubbed Flowport rounds out the exclusivist specs.
