Offered is „Nautilus 802“ by B&W from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2388245753 ends on 20.10.2026 at 23:33 o'clock.
€6,000 is ambitious against the recent used market, landing well above the €5,190 75th percentile and far past the €4,379 median. It’s not an automatic pass, but it needs something extra to justify the premium.
That said, this is a highly regarded speaker with real presence, scale, and refinement, and a clean “good” condition example can still be appealing if it has been cared for properly. For a piece like this, originality, service history, packaging, and careful storage matter a lot; if those check out, it becomes more defensible, but I’d still expect room to negotiate given the ask.
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.
