Ich verkaufe hier meine B&W Lautsprecher Preference 4 (mit 4 Bananensteckern von Oehlbach. )
Leider ist eine Box restaurierungsbedürftig da ein Hochtöner fehlt und ein Kontakt auf der Rückseite gebrochen ist. Da allein die Ersatzteile den Preis übersteigen den ich gerne dafür hätte, lohnt es sich für mich nicht sie zu ersetzen. Deswegen zum Restaurieren oder als Ersatzteilspender abzugeben.
Optisch sind die Lautsprecher dem Alter entsprechend schön anzusehen, die Frontabdeckungen sind unbeschädigt.
Sie können gerne besichtigt bzw ausprobiert werden.
Wie bei jedem privatverkauf keine Garantie oder Rücknahme.
This is a respected Bowers & Wilkins floorstander from the era when the brand was making very polished, room-filling speakers, and €90 lands it well below the €105 25th percentile and far under the €120 median. That makes it a strong deal rather than merely fair, especially for anyone shopping the used market patiently.
What makes it appealing is the combination of scale, refinement, and the kind of easy musical presentation that suits long listening sessions. If the cabinets are clean and the drivers are original and healthy, the value is hard to argue with at this price. For a speaker like this, a quick check of tweeter output, woofer surround condition, and any signs of water damage is enough; otherwise, this looks like an easy buy.
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.
