This is a clear buyer’s market for compact high-end monitors, and the SEK 18,500 asking price for the Bowers & Wilkins 805 D3 is a strong deal, sitting well below the 25th percentile (SEK 27,376) of our recent comparable SEK listings, with a median of SEK 36,407. At this price, you’re getting the flagship diamond-tweeter 800 Series compact at less than half its original US retail of roughly SEK 66,000 (based on $6,000/pair), making it an exceptional value for enthusiasts who want top-tier detail without flagship pricing.
The 805 D3 is widely praised for its exquisite diamond tweeter, huge lively soundstage, and unbelievable bass despite its small footprint, making it ideal for most rooms while competing with far more expensive compacts. If this listing includes original accessories or stands (which add SEK 11,000+ separately), the upside is even greater; even without them, the price alone makes this a compelling buying opportunity for anyone seeking refined, high-resolution sound in a compact form.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bowers & Wilkins traces its origins to 1966 in Worthing, West Sussex, England, when John Bowers, a passionate audio enthusiast and former electronics shop owner, founded the company with the help of a £10,000 bequest from a satisfied customer, Miss Knight. Bowers, who had honed his speaker-building skills as a hobby while running a radio and TV rental shop with partner Roy Wilkins, launched the venture from the back of that very shop. This modest beginning fueled a relentless pursuit of audio perfection, establishing Bowers & Wilkins as a British icon in high-fidelity sound reproduction.
The brand excels in premium loudspeakers, from flagship studio monitors like the legendary 801 series—adopted by Abbey Road Studios in 1979—to accessible Domestic Monitor lines such as the enduring 600 Series. Its portfolio has expanded to encompass high-end headphones, including the iconic P5 and Zeppelin designs, alongside wireless speakers and formation systems, all emphasizing advanced driver technology, precision cabinetry, and Continuum cones for unparalleled clarity.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Bowers & Wilkins commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its engineering excellence, musical accuracy, and heritage of innovation. Far from mid-tier or niche, it rivals the elite, blending cutting-edge research from facilities like Steyning with a reputation for reference-grade performance that defines luxury hi-fi.
