The 805 D5 stand-mount loudspeaker is the most compact model in the 800 Series Diamond range. While it’s best suited for smaller listening spaces, its large-scale performance greatly exceeds its modest stature.

Equipped with our Diamond dome tweeter, Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top and Continuum mid-bass cone housed in a reverse wrap cabinet, 805 D5 sounds and performs best when securely atop its bespoke speaker stands. Available in Stealth Black, Warm White, Light Walnut, and Dark Walnut, with matching Leather by Connolly trim, the 805 D5 is proof positive that small can still be beautiful.

Ultimate Drive Unit Technology

Pairing our most advanced and innovative drive unit technology, the 805 D5 delivers our purest sound ever. The Diamond dome tweeter pushes break-up frequency to 70kHz, delivering exceptional clarity, precision and openness, and the Continuum™ cone delivers voices and instruments with lifelike detail.

Optimised for Pure Performance

Every model in the new 800 Series Diamond range benefits from enhanced technology. An upgraded Matrix™ design reduces resonance and creates a more believable soundstage, while aluminium Space Frame Bracing and an all-new aluminium top section within the cabinet help deliver an even more spacious and immersive sound.

Crafted to be Better by Design

The 800 Series Diamond looks this way for a reason. Its shape is dictated by the science of sound. Our cabinets are formed from a single continuous curve, locked in place by a solid aluminium spine, so cabinet reflections are reduced. Complemented by the Tweeter-on-Top, musical performance is always as precise as possible.
