Offered is „HTM71 S2 in Black High Gloss“ by B&W as exhibit from the category „Surround Center-Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5235290578 ends on 27.10.2026 at 06:18 o'clock.
Should you pay €500 for this, or wait for a better buy? At €500, it sits clearly above the typical used market here: the median comparable listing is €309, with the 75th percentile at €405, so this is ambitious rather than fair-value territory.
That means it needs something extra to justify itself, like exceptional cosmetic condition, original packaging, documented single-owner use, or a hard-to-find finish. If it’s a standard example with no standout extras, I’d treat it as a pass unless you specifically want this model and can negotiate down; the upside is that a clean, well-kept piece in the right cosmetic state can still be worth chasing if the rest of the listing looks genuinely cared for.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
