18 months old, as new with all accessories and packaging
Against the recent used market, £15,990 sits just above the £15,593 median and comfortably inside the £14,855–£16,004 interquartile band, so this reads as fair value rather than a bargain. It’s close enough to the center of the market that I’d view it as a sensible buy if you’ve been hunting this model, but not low enough to call out as a steal.
That’s still attractive because the 802 D4 is a genuinely serious speaker: highly resolving, scale-rich, and able to disappear when set up well, with the sort of bass authority and midrange clarity that makes it a long-term keep. An excellent condition example is the right way to buy something like this, since condition and careful ownership matter a lot at this level; if the package is complete and the finish is clean, it’s a strong enthusiast-grade opportunity.
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.
