Te koop vanwege uitdunnen audiocollectie: een fraaie set engelse bowers & wilkins domestic monitor 4 oftewel dm4 luidsprekers 🇬🇧 op verchroomde, in hoogte verstelbare (van +- 36 tot 55,5cm) zeer
Is €275 sensible for a DM4, or are you paying too much for the badge? Against your recent comparable EUR listings, this sits well above the 75th percentile of €164, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair; I’d expect more room to negotiate unless the condition and presentation are unusually strong.
That said, the DM4 is a respected vintage B&W standmount with a real following for its lively, open midrange and easy-to-like musical balance, so a tidy, complete pair can still be worth chasing. The upside is strongest if it’s original, well-kept, and comes with grilles or stands, but at this asking price I’d want confirmation on driver health, foam/surround condition, and whether both speakers are cosmetically matched.
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.
