B&w htm3s center speaker in uitstekende staat eventueel de 803s en 805s ook beschikbaar bij serieuze interesse
This is a well-known center speaker from a serious home-theater line, and the asking price is on the ambitious side. At €1,750, it sits above the recent comparable range, well past the €1,530 75th percentile, so it’s not a bargain unless there’s something unusually compelling about the package.
What makes it worth considering is the model’s reputation for clear, substantial dialogue and seamless matching with other B&W HTM/703-era fronts, which is exactly where it earns its keep. If the cabinet is clean, the drivers are original, and it includes the grille and packaging, that helps—but at this price I’d want proof of careful ownership and strong cosmetic condition to justify paying over market.
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.
