New 800 Series Signature
Recently announced. Gorgeous burl finish but on the fence with metallic blue (Magico’s signature in my opinion). A pretty penny for exclusivity and marketed improvements. $50k USD vs $38k for standard 801D4s. $12k USD vs $8.5k for 805Ds.
For the lucky few…enjoy in good health! https://www.bowerswilkins.com/en-us/...ries-signature

Price increases...what does it mean for the industry when heavy hitters like B&W raises retail prices by double digit points in 2024? This excludes previously raised retail since the D4 series release. No product enhancement other than the Signatures. Parent company, Masimo, acquisition/synergy not going well...
USD Pairs: 801D4 Signatures $50k to $55k...in just 10 months since release? 801D4 $38k to $42k 802D4 $28k to $31k 803D4 $22.5 to $25k 804D4 $14k to $15k 805D4 $8.5k to $9.5k 805D4 Signatures $12k to $13.5k

Earlier this month, news broke that Masimo is spinning off the consumer goods business which includes B&W.
