€429 is ambitious versus the recent EUR comps: it sits well above the 75th percentile of €346 and materially over the median of €321, so I’d only pay this if the unit is unusually clean, fully tested, or bundled with something useful. Against that spread, it’s not a bargain-price listing.
That said, the ASW608 is a well-liked compact sub for smaller rooms and nearfield systems: easy placement, quick bass, and a sensible match for modest two-channel or surround setups. If it’s truly tidy and the driver, amp, and auto-on behaviour are all confirmed, it can still be a good buy—but at €429, I’d want stronger-than-average condition or provenance to justify the premium.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bowers & Wilkins, the esteemed British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to 1966 in Worthing, West Sussex, when John Bowers founded the company with a £10,000 bequest from a satisfied customer, Miss Knight, who admired his hobby-crafted loudspeakers. Previously, Bowers and Roy Wilkins had run an electronics rental shop after meeting in the British Army during World War II. This fortuitous legacy fueled Bowers' obsession with acoustic perfection, launching the P1 as their inaugural product and establishing a foundation of relentless innovation in speaker design.
The brand excels in premium loudspeakers across categories like floorstanders, bookshelves, and studio monitors, with iconic lines such as the 600 Series for accessible excellence and the legendary 801, adopted as Abbey Road Studios' reference in 1979. They also produce high-end headphones like the P5 and Zeppelin, formation audio systems, and select electronics, prioritizing driver technology, cabinetry, and precise engineering over amplifiers, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Bowers & Wilkins commands reverence among discerning audiophiles and professionals for its clarity, musical truth, and uncompromised fidelity. A staple in both consumer and studio environments, it embodies British precision engineering, blending heritage with cutting-edge research to sustain its status as a benchmark for premium audio excellence.
