Een matched pair engelse juweeltjes: b&w dm14, perfect werkend, met originele drivers, filters en frontjes. Spelen geweldig. Met een redelijk stabiel versterker die tenminste 2 x 40w kan leveren,
Timing matters because this is an older, classic B&W from the era before the company’s later suspension and cabinet-tech shifts, so value here is more about condition and originality than chasing a newer replacement. At €100, it sits well below the €163 25th percentile and far under the €226 median, which makes it a strong deal in the current EUR market.
That’s the kind of price that leaves room for sensible refurbishment or a patient clean-up, and these are still respected for a big, relaxed presentation with good scale and tonal ease. If the drivers are healthy and the cabinets are original, it’s a very worthwhile buy; the main thing to check is that both speakers are complete, undamaged, and playing evenly, since age-related issues matter more than with newer boxes.
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.
