Bowers And Wilkins - HTM82 D5 Center Channel Speaker

Made for Premier Surround Systems and to Pair with Bowers & Wilkins' 803 D4 and 804 D4 Floor-Standing Speakers: HTM82 D4 Center-Channel Loudspeaker Plays with Exceptional Clarity

Expressly made to pair with the Bowers & Wilkins 803 D4 and 804 D5 floor-standing speakers, the HTM82 D5 center-channel speaker is your ticket to blockbuster home-cinema performance and enveloping multichannel thrills. Recognizing that the center-channel is often the most important speaker in a home-theater system, Bowers & Wilkins loaded the three-way HTM81 D5 with innovative technologies and built it to stand up to even the most intense demands.

Occupying a footprint that measures 11.4 x 28.1 x 14.3 inches (HWD) and weighs 57.5 pounds, HTM82 D5 balances modest dimensions with impactful sound. Like the 800 Series Diamond sibling tower models to which it is voiced to match, it plays with astounding scale, detail, and extension — and claims many of the same features. Those include a one-inch diamond dome tweeter; solid-body Tweeter-on-Top housing milled from a single block of aluminum and sculpted into an elongated form with a long tube-loading system that lessens rear diffraction; ultimate Matrix bracing with interlocking panels for superb reinforcement; and Biomimetic Suspension that dramatically reduces unwanted air pressure and coloration.

Bowers & Wilkins didn't stop there. HTM82 D4 features a five-inch Continuum cone FST midrange housed in a stiff aluminum enclosure that both serves as a controlled location point for the midrange decoupling and prevents unwanted air leakage into the cabinet. For the two 6.5-inch woofers, Bowers & Wilkins turns to its Aerofoil bass cones — remarkable for their carbon-fiber skin and variable-profile foam core — as well as an Anti-Resonance Plug to ensure ultra-low distortion and robust, rich, deep low-end performance.

In every way, the British-built HTM82 D5 reimagines the concept of a center-channel speaker and, when paired with 803 D5 and 804 D5, promises the foundations of a home theater no one will soon forget.
