Te koop aangeboden in perfekte staat bowers & wilkins compacte audiofiele 2 weg basreflexspeaker voorganger van de 705 vele goede internationale testresultaten evenwichtige & ruimtelijke klank
The CDM1 is a well-regarded compact monitor, but at €399 this one is a bit ambitious against your recent comp set. With a median of €320 and a 75th percentile of €384, it’s sitting above the top of the usual asking range, so I’d want something special to justify the stretch.
If the pair is complete and cosmetically clean, the appeal is real: these are known for a lively, open presentation and scale surprisingly well for their size. For a buyer, the key upside is that a tidy, original set can still be a satisfying long-term keep, but I’d look closely at driver condition, foam surrounds, and whether any stands or grills are included before paying above the market norm.
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.
