What changes for D5 is the detail. The motor systems are derived from the 801 D4 Signature, rear Space Frame rails and a thicker internal Matrix stiffen the cabinet, and a new tuned plinth damps what's left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eIn a large room the 801 D5 does something few speakers manage: it plays genuinely low and genuinely loud without the midrange losing its composure. With a −6 dB point of 13 Hz, it rarely needs help from a subwoofer for music. It is an easy load to drive in principle, with 90 dB sensitivity, but its 3.0 Ω minimum impedance rewards a powerful, high-current amplifier. It is built for large rooms and for listeners who want orchestral scale at realistic levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eWhat's new in
