Offered is „804 D4“ by B&W as exhibit from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1913458982 ends on 31.10.2026 at 06:17 o'clock.
This is a seller’s market for flagship floorstanders, and the €12,490 asking price is ambitious for B&W 804s, sitting clearly above the 75th percentile of €12,066 and well over the median of €9,865 from your own EUR database. While not absurdly inflated, it demands confidence in the condition and pedigree, as comparable recent listings cluster between €8,244 and €12,066.
The 804 remains a revered small floorstander in the 800 Series Diamond line, delivering exceptional clarity, tight bass, and a refined treble that justifies its heritage among serious listeners. If this pair is original-owner, includes BiWire cables, and shows minimal wear, the upside in rarity and performance makes it a compelling long-term hold—just ensure you’re not paying new-era pricing for older-generation glass. At this price, only buy if the condition is pristine and accessories are complete.

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.
