Abbey Road isn’t just a street—it’s a holy ground for music geeks. So when Bowers & Wilkins decided to celebrate 45 years of sonic partnership with the world’s most iconic recording studio, they didn’t just slap a logo on a speaker. Oh no. They turned their flagship 801 D4 Signature into a limited-edition masterpiece: the 801 Abbey Road Limited Edition.
This is not your average speaker. This is a US$70,000-per-pair shrine to sound, dressed to impress in Vintage Walnut and trimmed with actual red leather from Connolly—because if you’re going to flex, do it like you’re in Studio Two with George Martin.
Under the classy exterior, it’s still all business: diamond tweeter, Continuum midrange, Aerofoil bass drivers, and enough acoustic wizardry to make your neighbor’s soundbar cry. Only 140 pairs will be made, so if you want to own a piece of audio history—and a commemorative book to prove it—you’d better act faster than a Beatles vinyl reissue.
TL;DR: It’s Abbey Road-level sound, minus the recording contract.
