B&W Bowers & Wilkins 800 DIY homemade speakers 

You guys deserve a medal for this. Incredible job!

Beautiful craftsmanship and dedication.

Wow, just wow... even more beautiful than the original.

Ive always been impressed by B&Ws engineering!

1 thing 2 say 3 words 4 you. That is astonishing!!

Superb result. Well done.

VERY impressive work.

Beautiful work

Some time ago we made DIY horns! they were really impressive! but in the end the sound was..... it is better to say there was no sound! their look was better) so guys, you happy with that you finaly MADE IT, but what about the sound. Or no matter? this is best of the best of the best!

with hard work,man can do everything.looks a nice cover of the BW´S.

Just a EPIC job, Fantastic!

Always loved the Bowers & Wilkins 800 series. The design the structure everything. However if I made a copy I'd probably change everything about the drivers and crossover. I've had a bookshelf scanspeak diy set for a while now. It sounds amazing and I'd put the quality up there with B&W's 800 series even though it's a bookshelf. They are amazing speakers that I'd love to build into something this size. What's funny is Sony did create a scanspeak loudspeaker the SS-AR1 (27k). That's sort of the components I'd use. Your design and attention to detail are amazing. Bar none on your reproduction of these speakers. Great work.

Looks great

I'm sure it was very clear that they were not for production or sale. That said it would be interesting to see what B&W thought of what kind of job you did.

Impressive hiper ultra mega super great JOB!!!

Just stunning guys

Nice! Good looking and well done:)😀😀😀

Do you still have the 3d build plan and would be so kind to share them with us?😅 Would love to try it my self. Nice work, looking just like original 👍👌

Un treball increíble. Felicitats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok one word WOW

God.. A beautiful video.. for an incredible job.. Congrats.

Good day love your work and the design. Would you consider sending me the PDF or Cad file of the plans. you did a great job.

WOW! Extremely impressive. How many hours of work + material costs, roughly? At $30,000/pair, it may yet be possible to break even...

Good job. I wish I could make them myself

Well done, amazing.

WoW~~~Unbilieve~ Amazing~

And it sounds like a Master-G Hey! Don't ask so much, it's a knock of B&W 😂

Beautiful job. But why did you put on the name Bowers & Wilkins?

can you upload the plans.. this is genious!!!

Lots of work!

Wow, nice speakers

Magnifique !

Nice.... fantastic.... TnX.

Unbelievable👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great job! Do you share the CAD-Files? Would love to rebuild them, too.

You did amazig job! Congratulations! One year ago my friend both 800 D2. After I heard the speaker I decided to go for diy 800 d2. Now I have all the original brand new drivers (tweeter in original housing) and WBT top line terminals. I think I need one year to have enought money for the cabinets, chross owers (in ewery part same as the original) and the cabeling (VDH CS 12). Please let me know where are you from, because Id like to ask you to make me the marlan head copy. Once again thanks for the motivation video. Best regards DIY fan.

Nice work

yes please

Inspirational 👀

More pictures build please

Is there any way to get (download) the vector files you used to make the cuts? thx!

Master Piece

Kudos !!!

Skill!

Maravilhosas! ♡

Bowers & Wilkins 800 DIYamond.

There are some really skilled people around. Quite a few people in China have copied this design. I have heard the mistrial sag-350 and although not as good as B&W, they sound very good. All the "copies" on sale are at "too good to be true prices" so don't pose a threat to B&W really. The copies are obvious but buyer beware. I an an ex B&W dealer and I can tell you the B&Ws are the real deal.

NICE !

verry good

5:07 You measured the coils but then you seem to have used magnetic screws? They look like normal steel with yellow zinc coating. That changes the inductance. Where did you get the drivers? Are they original B&W?

Bravo. Beautiful work. Did they offer you a job yet or have they tried to sue? I say they should get you on the payroll

Hi @david944s, great effort and result! It would be nice if you could comment on the sound. Also I was wondering how much was spent on material?

beutiful

Unreal

Excelente.

Best speakera

wow

There's a blemish on one of the cabinets... But the music is okay...

hi, do you have the plans for the enclosure? what for drivers are installed?

nice work. can you please give me the measurements?

Gorgeous manufacturing congrats do you still have the cad model? regards

👍

Did you use b&w drive units ?

I really enjoyed the video! Nice job! I wondered if you could tell me what is the software that you were using for your speaker diagrams?

Hey man im about to be doing the same thing as you. Any chance id be able to talk to you about some questions and stuff

Impressive work, costs and looks, but isn't the sound worth showing?

How much these babies weight? Very nice video!

5:04 do not guide any screws through the coils !! Induction!!! amateur,,may melt at higher loads

Amazing, well done, where do i get the blue print plans for these babies?

superbe

er...sorry for asking the obvious...but what do they sound like? good or crap.

So the backing sound track and the speakers themselves are all breach of copyright ??

Where did you buy the actual speakers for the cases?

Hello or they are maybe on the web dimensions and templates?

what brand use drivers. pls share link

Hi, is it possible to send me the CAD files for this wonderful project?

Looks like he bought the original B&W carbon drivers, kevlar midrange and diamond tweeters to complete the job. Thats not going to work out cheap. There is still a fair bit of science to recreate the same midrange and high frequencies which I think is best left to B&W than clone reproductions.

now I know never to buy this online

nice try n how is the quality ?

Nice workmanship, but I wouldn’t put Bowers Wilkins on it, it’s not a B&W 800, it’s a knock off, I’d be putting my own name on it

It took 2 years to plagiarise these speakers. You really should have spent that time and effort making your own designs.

Really great work. What was the total cost if I may ask?

nice knock offs....

You took pictures of your monitor? You couldn't just save the rendered image and use that? Excellent work, well done. I was particularly impressed with the molded casts. But a few questions, why did it take you 2 years? And where did you find the internal structure of the speaker to copy? Did you have an existing 800 series to take apart? Or is there a blueprint somewhere online?

price ?

is possibile to buy?

I actually think yours look better

After going to all this trouble you could have upgraded these to be far better than the originals.The owner himself said he uses an unimpressive cheap crossover system in these speakers.He says it makes them sound better lol,i say no he is a cheap ass. With all that trouble you could have used seas drivers for the mids and bass,and kept the tweeter and had a much better pair. Im guessing that wasnt your goal.

This guy does not appear to be answering any questions.

great job but please dont named this as a B&W because theyre not.

Пиздато!

Realy great job ! But why Put B&W on the non B&W speakers? that is counterfeit !

So you guys went thru all the trouble of copying and making a Boot leg set of B & W speakers. Although they may look like them , they are still fake copies ! And to put 800 DBiamond on them is a bit too much. Hopefully you won't get sued by B&W for the forgery. As far as the work , they look fantastic.

ohohohohoh fack!!!

Also write, that they play no worse than these fakes ...

don't understand the art of makeing copys of something

Why?

Your title says " HOMEMADE"... just CURIOUS. How many of you guys out there have 3D milling machines, in your home? Nice work...but NOT homemade.

why? Just get fucking real ones.

I will echo so many others... as a work of art they are super impressive. I particularly like the olive veneer. But why go so far as to copy the design and the name?? DIY projects are admirable but clearly have no resale value. Using the manufacturers name is setting yourself up for all kinds of trouble. You have moved from impressive DIY to fraudulent fake. I use DIY speakers that are loosely based on a manufacturer who publishes their design and invites home builds. I also changed the design to make my version of improvements. Why did you not play some music and comment on the sound? Do you assume we believe they sound like the original. I seriously doubt it.
