With condition unknown, this is still priced like a good buy rather than a bargain-bucket risk: at €799, it lands below the €839 25th percentile and under the €877 median for recent comparable listings, so it sits on the value side of the market. It is not dirt-cheap, but it is clearly in the “worth a serious look” zone.
The CM8 is a well-regarded floorstander for its clean, lively presentation, solid bass for the size, and easy placement compared with bigger towers. At this price, the upside is strongest if the pair is complete, cosmetically tidy, and unmodified; check that both tweeters and woofers are original and that the grilles, feet, and any packaging are included. If the cabinets and drivers are clean, this reads as a sensible enthusiast buy.

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.
