At €35,000, this used Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 pair is a fair deal, sitting just €1,105 above the recent EUR median of €33,895 and comfortably within the typical used range of €30,099 to €40,293. For this price, you’re getting the reference-standard 801 D4 rather than the upgraded Signature version (which costs roughly €52,000 new), making it a solid entry into B&W’s flagship 800 Series without the extra markup for special finishes or motor tweaks.
The 801 D4 remains one of the most respected floorstanders in hi-fi, renowned for its Diamond dome tweeter, Continuum midrange, and dual Aerofoil bass drivers that deliver clean, detailed sound from 15Hz to 28kHz. At €35,000 in EUR condition, this listing offers meaningful upside: you’re buying a proven reference speaker that Abbey Road Studios trusts, with no red flags at a fair price. If it includes original cables, stands, or documentation, it’s a clear buying opportunity for serious enthusiasts.

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.
