At €150, this is comfortably below the more typical asking band I’d expect for a DM580, which seems to land roughly around €175-€250 in current used listings, with some sellers pushing much higher. That makes this look like a strong buy rather than a fair-market price, provided the speakers are complete and working properly.
The DM580 is a well-regarded old-school B&W floorstander: easy to like for its full-bodied, lively presentation and enough sensitivity to partner with a sensible amp. At this price, the upside is in getting a big, classic B&W sound without paying much of a premium. I’d mainly confirm the woofer surrounds, tweeter output, cabinet corners, and that both speakers are matched and original; if those check out, €150 is very attractive.

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.
