Offered is „ASW 608“ by B&W as exhibit from the category „Subwoofer Active“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 544845941 ends on 29.10.2026 at 09:07 o'clock.
At €539, this sits well above the usual used range for the Bowers & Wilkins ASW608: it’s over the €405 75th percentile and far from the €333 median, so the ask feels ambitious rather than fair. Unless there’s something unusually strong bundled with it, this is not a standout value at current market levels.
That said, the ASW608 is a respected compact sub: tight, musical bass, easy integration in small-to-midsize rooms, and a sensible match for systems where speed matters more than brute force. If the condition is genuinely clean and it comes with the right cable, grille, or original packaging, that helps, but the price still needs to move closer to the mid-€300s before it becomes an easy buy.
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.
