Against the obvious alternative at this price point, this sits right around fair value rather than being a standout bargain: the asking price of €450 is a touch above the €427 median, but still inside the recent €377–€445 middle band and only just over the 75th percentile. That makes it slightly ambitious, not overpriced, assuming the speakers are clean and fully functional.
The CM1 S2 is well liked for its compact scale, crisp imaging, and more refined top end than many small bookshelf speakers, so it’s a sensible buy if you want honest nearfield or stand-mounted sound without moving up in size. The real upside is a tidy, complete pair with known history; at €450, I’d want decent cosmetics and no driver or crossover issues, but there’s no automatic red flag here if it’s a cared-for set.
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.
