All drive units and tweeters immaculate and speakers work faultlessly. Come complete with all original accessories, boxes etc Fantastic sound and really need to be auditioned to appreciate the quality. Collection from Annan, Dumfriesshire , or shipping with palletised courier (approx cost £90) Selling due to upgrading.
Timing is fine here: this is a mature, well-known design from a generation that’s still highly respected, so the question is mostly price and condition rather than chasing the newest thing. At £3,600, it sits below the £3,856 25th percentile and well under the £4,068 median, so this reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair.
These are admired for their clean, open presentation and excellent imaging, with enough scale and refinement to anchor a serious room without feeling overblown. If the cabinets, drivers, and finishes are genuinely excellent and the pair is complete, the value is very solid; the main thing to verify is clean cosmetic condition and consistent performance from both speakers, because at this level a tidy, cared-for pair is exactly what you want.
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.
