Sound History, Reimagined: Bowers & Wilkins Unveils 801 Abbey Road Limited Edition Speakers

A $70,000 tribute to a legendary studio partnership — only 140 pairs available worldwide.

A Celebration of Sonic Icons

To mark a 45-year sonic partnership with the iconic Abbey Road Studios, Bowers & Wilkins has launched a truly rare masterpiece: the 801 D4 Abbey Road Limited Edition. More than just a high-fidelity loudspeaker, this release is a reverent nod to the studio that shaped the sound of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and countless modern legends.

“A speaker worthy of Studio Two’s legacy — and built for collectors who want more than just audio performance.”

Built on a Signature, Refined for History

At its heart, the 801 Abbey Road Limited Edition is based on the brand’s flagship 801 D4 Signature model — known for audiophile-grade detail, scale, and neutrality. But this edition brings a new level of exclusivity and craftsmanship, draped in:

• Vintage walnut veneer finish

• Hand-finished Connolly leather trim

• Discreet Abbey Road Studio Two etching on the rear plate

• Polished metal plaques commemorating the collaboration

  
  

The result is a visual and acoustic celebration of engineering excellence and musical heritage.

Engineering Meets Emotion

Beneath the exquisite exterior lies Bowers & Wilkins’ most advanced technology:

Component	Spec
Diamond Dome Tweeter	25mm
Continuum™ Cone Midrange	150mm
Aerofoil™ Cone Bass Drivers	Twin 250mm
Crossover	Optimized with upgraded bypass capacitors for ultra-clean signal path
Cabinet	Turbine Head™ enclosure with solid aluminum spine for vibration control

This combination delivers a studio-level reference sound, with breathtaking dynamics, rich low-end depth, and exceptional imaging. Whether you’re revisiting analog classics or streaming hi-res digital, the Abbey Road 801s invite you into the control room.

Only 140 Pairs — Globally

With just 140 numbered pairs produced worldwide, the 801 Abbey Road edition is priced at $70,000 per pair, making it one of the most exclusive speaker sets ever offered to the public. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity, protective covers, and a collector’s-grade shipping crate.

Why It Matters

This collaboration sits at the intersection of luxury audio, collectible design, and musical legacy. It reflects a broader trend where elite brands blend heritage and innovation to create products that are as emotionally resonant as they are technically perfect.

For collectors, audiophiles, or Abbey Road devotees, the 801 Limited Edition isn’t just a speaker — it’s a sonic monument.
