[@HansVledder]

You guys deserve a medal for this. Incredible job!

[@ThPappas]

But how did they acquire the original drivers and the X/overs’ blueprints?

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

[@Tadesan]

Ive always been impressed by B&Ws engineering!

[@MrRobj90]

Superb result. Well done.

[@mykdubz128]

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

[@sonickautschuhe]

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 👍👌

[@sonickautschuhe]

Still wondering m8🤙

[@sonickautschuhe]

Never stopped wondering btw..^^

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

Looks great

[@undead2live]

Beautiful work

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.

[@royk007]

Any plans or units from that Sandy would love to see them ;)

[@theoracleprodigy]

@@royk007 I wouldn't be able to create those sorts of plans. When I built a set before I cheated and purchased everything from madisound. They created the specs for the crossover and gave me the idea for the box size when I purchased it from them. They have a few kits which give you every spec as well even some with built crossovers. The kit I have been eyeing forever is the Scan-Speak B741 Speaker Kit. At $3600 before adding in the box I don't think I'll be building it anytime soon ;)

[@jackturtle131]

Just stunning guys

[@HIFIStereoSound]

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!

[@AudioTekAdventures-ph9ke]

Nice! Good looking and well done:)😀😀😀

[@TheHenricus69]

Just a EPIC job, Fantastic!

[@talibe801]

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

[@metalmartin6.6.6]

Impressive hiper ultra mega super great JOB!!!

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

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.

[@Psyphonyx_Life]

VERY impressive work.

[@Coque019]

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

[@bradfordjaques8523]

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.

[@robinsonpeixoto8521]

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

[@neunxklug6968]

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

[@blackdaan]

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

[@TheDarthvader123]

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

[@Cupra317hp]

Because they are. Drivers etc are b&w. Only the Wood is Hand Made in original mm

[@twoeggcups]

@@Cupra317hp the casting too

[@Cupra317hp]

@@twoeggcups its fantastic 😆

[@DGFishRfine1]

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

[@johnnyh1948]

Good job. I wish I could make them myself

[@sumitgenzyme]

Unbelievable👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MGoudsmits]

ok one word WOW

[@pavlovicbojan7544]

More pictures build please

[@lemigrant]

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

[@piotrczajkowski5050]

Lots of work!

[@attilakatona8604]

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.

[@Romerosays]

Where do you buy the speakers from?

[@mladenpuzigaca381]

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

[@IceBullit]

Well done, amazing.

[@Frambhueee]

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

[@triton2k5]

Magnifique !

[@rainbowcomputers212]

nice work. can you please give me the measurements?

[@Marcin-el3ph]

Wow, nice speakers

[@mariusloubeeka5810]

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?

[@pisces817]

WoW~~~Unbilieve~ Amazing~

Nice work

[@FrankTheTank0065]

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

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?

Maravilhosas! ♡

[@ricardomondragonjuan9120]

Excelente.

[@keithbill310]

Did you use b&w drive units ?

[@DeweyChapa]

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

[@andrev5207]

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

[@ThPappas]

Breach of copyright to build something for yourself?If you don’t sell it for money,then there is not breaching...

[@andrev5207]

@@ThPappas But if you buy a bluray and make a backup it is okay, but if you copy your friends bluray it is a breach of copyright. It is the same here. Doesn’t need to a precise copy either. A substantiative copy is sufficient.

[@theshootindutchman]

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?

[@martinkubicek2649]

verry good

[@phillipjones3439]

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.

[@BPatel-cx7js]

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

[@InChristJesus87]

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

yes please

[@aaronphillips1210]

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

I meant the cost to make them

As much as the be 800

Where did you buy the actual speakers for the cases?

what brand use drivers. pls share link

[@rainbowcomputers212]

nice try n how is the quality ?

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

[@SVJPalackeho-]

I think you're exaggerating, it doesn't have that effect

[@fabslyrics]

superbe

[@giovannidangelo4816]

is possibile to buy?

[@doggiefresh241]

now I know never to buy this online

[@andrev5207]

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.

[@michalrudy9124]

price ?

[@BestKiteboardingOfficial]

I actually think yours look better

[@brynsmith414]

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

[@phaelax]

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?

[@odincoulombe706]

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.

[@anonymous8324]

Пиздато!

[@aussienads]

nice knock offs....

[@sundayduffer]

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

[@rover8772]

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

[@pennyswise5154]

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

[@weedonman]

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

[@almonzowilder4091]

This guy does not appear to be answering any questions.

[@CHIBA280CRV]

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.

[@SiFFon-h2j]

ohohohohoh fack!!!

[@jareddevey9131]

Why?

[@galesd1971]

don't understand the art of makeing copys of something

[@fododude]

Yeah, it's like those civil war re-enactors. They try to get every detail right. Why don't they just go have their own war?

[@BB..........]

How do you feel about making copies though?

[@regularearthkid]

$35k a pair for the originals possibly?

[@cnccnc1738]

fododude exactly. Great work, but pointless.

[@galesd1971]

these ones cheaper not guaranting that they sound exact like originals or near

[@guitarfoundry]

why? Just get fucking real ones.

[@mechdude1]

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.

[@robpeters5204]

Not impressed.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

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.

[@edwardbalboa5528]

Who cares
