Goede en nette b&w cdm9nt, ferrofluid is vervangen, zijn te beluisteren, alleen ophalen.
This one’s an older but still respected era of B&W floorstanders, so timing matters mainly in the usual way for a discontinued design: value depends on condition, service history, and whether the pair has been cared for properly. At €1,050, it sits below the €1,196 median and just under the €1,025–€1,378 comparable range, so this reads as a solid buy rather than a stretch.
What makes it worthwhile is the classic CDM-series appeal: big, full-bodied presentation, confident bass for the size, and the kind of smooth, listenable balance that still wins fans. If the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are clean and the tweeters are original, that’s a nice upside at this price. The main things to verify are cosmetic wear, driver matching, and that the terminals and bass alignment are intact, but nothing here sounds inherently risky for a knowledgeable buyer.
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.
