Bowers & Wilkins – Company Profile and Signature 801 D4 Review premium
Originally, I had intended to limit this review just to a listening impression of the new 801 D4 Signature. However, during my visit to Bowers & Wilkins in Eindhoven, I was provided with such a wealth of information that I felt I could not just keep it all to myself and only focus on the review.

HFA Audio Setup History 02 – The room needs attention, too premium
All wood furniture; tables, wall fixtures and cabinets that you can see in many pictures are designed and made by me. Over the years I went from highly curvy shapes to more linear furniture.
