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.

B&W Matrix 803 S2 Floorstanding Speaker; Series 2; Black Ash unable to test- no tweetersee pics for condition More great items, in our store Thank You! Have A Great Day! Visit Our Store For More!FAST SHIPPING !!!

Up for auction is a pair of B&W Matrix 803 Series II floor standing speakers. This includes two speakers and two tweeters. Cosmetically they are in great condition as you can see in the photos. One of the tweeters is malfunctioning, audio comes through the tweeter but it sounds thin. Might need to be re-soldered. Other than that these speakers are good to go. We can carefully and cautiously ship these speakers, but if you are within a reasonable driving distance to the Washington, DC area we are happy to offer local pick up.
