The Matrix 803 monitor demands less floor space than the Matrix 802, while essentially retaining the sound reproduction characteristics of the larger models. Graceful lines, sleek good looks and a choice of finishes ensure that the monitor is at home in any listening environment. As a Hi-fi monitor, the Matrix 803 is exceptional, it will also feature in a Home Cinema system without a hint of compromise. Kevlar: B&W developed and patented the method of using Kevlar for loudspeaker cones to reduce unwanted standing waves. DuPont originally created Kevlar for use in bulletproof vests. Tweeter on top: B&Ws Tweeter on top technology ensures that the sound remains focused and time-sensitive and that the stereo-image is presented with unparalleled three dimensional accuracy. Matrix: The basic construction of nearly all loudspeakers is exactly the same - panels of wood-based materials, bonded to form a rectangular box. B&W studied and evaluated how each aspect of cabinet behaviour and the efficiency of various materials and construction methods affects sound.

This listing is for a single B&W 805 Matrix woofer. It should fit 804 and 803 as well. Part number ZZ8605. Pulled from a working pair of 805s. Tests good for sound and DC resistance. the dust cover is not centered in the cone. The previous owner appears to have glued it on off center after it fell off. I did not want to damage it trying to remove it. I will leave that to the new owner. Includes gasket and trim ring. Please check the pictures. Free shipping to contiguous 48 states only.
