Abbey Road Bowers Wilkins 801 Limited Edition Celebrates Iconic Studio Partnership

In a remarkable tribute to a 45-year collaboration, Bowers & Wilkins has unveiled the 801 Abbey Road Limited Edition loudspeaker—an exclusive take on the acclaimed 801 D4 model. This high-fidelity floorstanding speaker is engineered for audiophiles and studio professionals alike, featuring a refined 3-way vented box design with a 1-inch diamond dome tweeter, 6-inch Continuum cone FST midrange, and dual 10-inch Aerofoil Profile bass drivers. The Abbey Road Bowers Wilkins Limited Edition delivers staggering clarity with a frequency range of 13Hz–35kHz and a 90dB sensitivity rating, handcrafted in only 140 pairs for global release. Aesthetic details like vintage walnut cabinetry and custom Connolly red leather trim connect directly to the signature design elements of Abbey Road Studios, including its iconic Studio Two control room.

Not only does this speaker embody elite audio engineering, but it also honors a unique history dating back to 1980, when John Bowers introduced the original 801 to Abbey Road. Intrigued by its unparalleled sonic transparency, the engineers at the studio quickly adopted the speaker, making Abbey Road the first professional studio to use it as a monitor. Now, six generations on, the Abbey Road Bowers Wilkins partnership continues to influence the world of audio production and hi-fi innovation. Each unit includes a commemorative rear faceplate and a collector’s book that chronicles the groundbreaking legacy of this collaboration, bridging the gap between legendary sound engineering and next-generation home audio technology.
