This is ambitious: at £2,000, it sits far above your recent comparable market, where the 75th percentile is £979 and the median is only £297. Even allowing for a strong example of the model, that puts the ask at more than double the top quartile, so it needs to be genuinely exceptional to make sense.
The upside is that this is a serious sub from a well-regarded line: the DB1D is known for deep, controlled bass, good integration, and the convenience of built-in amplification in a sealed design that suits hi-fi and home cinema use well. Boxed examples with the right cables and tidy cosmetic condition are always easier to live with, but at this level I’d want proof of perfect operation, no driver or amp issues, and confirmation that all accessories are included before paying up.
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.
