Te koop aangeboden: een paar prachtige bowers & wilkins cm1 s2 boekenplank luidsprekers in uitstekende staat. Deze speakers leveren een indrukwekkend geluid voor hun formaat, met heldere hoge tone
Compared with a typical used pair, this is above the median but not wildly out of line: €495 sits over the €416 median and above the €432 75th percentile, so I’d call it a bit ambitious, not a bargain. The gap is enough that I’d only lean in if the speakers are exceptionally clean, complete, and ready to play.
The CM1 S2 is well-liked for its compact, open midrange, tidy imaging, and easy placement—exactly the kind of speaker that can outperform its size when paired well. If the finish is good, the grilles and foam plugs are included, and the drive units are original and healthy, there’s real upside here; just confirm there’s no cabinet damage, tweeter denting, or woofer fatigue before paying near the top of the range.
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.
