Engelse speakers, in goede staat, ferrofluid vervangen, met spikes en schoteltjes, 450euro.
At €450, this sits around the lower end of the current used market for the CDM 7, where recent asking prices cluster roughly from €400 to €590, with some examples higher for special editions and boxed, first-owner pairs. That makes the asking price fair to slightly attractive rather than a steal, and it would look especially good if the cabinets, grilles, and drivers are clean and all original.
These are respected B&W floorstanders with the kind of open, refined presentation that still wins over listeners who like a balanced but lively speaker. The real upside is that a tidy, complete pair can be a very satisfying long-term buy, but at this age you want to confirm driver health, foam/surround condition, and that the tweeters and terminals are original and working properly; condition matters more than with newer speakers.
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.
