Offered is „804 D4“ by B&W as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1952640341 ends on 23.10.2026 at 10:33 o'clock.
At €8,700, this sits right on the used-market median for the 804, so it looks fair rather than cheap; compared with the usual choice of stretching to a new entry-level floorstander at this level, this is the more serious loudspeaker buy. It’s not a bargain-bin price, but it’s also not asking for a premium beyond the market’s comfort zone.
The appeal here is straightforward: the 804 is one of Bowers & Wilkins’ most respected slim towers, known for clean imaging, open mids, and enough scale to anchor a proper stereo setup without dominating the room. In good condition, it’s the kind of speaker that can make sense for a buyer wanting long-term satisfaction rather than a stopgap, especially if the finish, drivers, and any spikes/grilles are all complete.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bowers & Wilkins, the esteemed British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to 1966 in Worthing, West Sussex, when John Bowers founded the company with a £10,000 bequest from a satisfied customer, Miss Knight, who admired his hobby-crafted loudspeakers. Previously, Bowers and Roy Wilkins had run an electronics rental shop after meeting in the British Army during World War II. This fortuitous legacy fueled Bowers' obsession with acoustic perfection, launching the P1 as their inaugural product and establishing a foundation of relentless innovation in speaker design.
The brand excels in premium loudspeakers across categories like floorstanders, bookshelves, and studio monitors, with iconic lines such as the 600 Series for accessible excellence and the legendary 801, adopted as Abbey Road Studios' reference in 1979. They also produce high-end headphones like the P5 and Zeppelin, formation audio systems, and select electronics, prioritizing driver technology, cabinetry, and precise engineering over amplifiers, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Bowers & Wilkins commands reverence among discerning audiophiles and professionals for its clarity, musical truth, and uncompromised fidelity. A staple in both consumer and studio environments, it embodies British precision engineering, blending heritage with cutting-edge research to sustain its status as a benchmark for premium audio excellence.
