Offered is „801 D4 Signature Midnight Blue Metallic“ 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 7011754351 ends on 02.11.2026 at 14:20 o'clock.
This is a fair ask, sitting right on the market’s center of gravity: €29,000 is essentially at the €29,000 median and well inside the usual used range of about €26,760 to €35,453. It is not a bargain, but it is priced sensibly for a serious pair like this.
That makes it a solid buy if the condition is genuinely good and the cosmetics match the description. The 801 D4 is a reference-grade loudspeaker with the scale, control, and low-end authority that make it a long-term keeper, so value here is less about chasing a discount and more about securing a clean, well-cared-for example. If stands, grilles, and original packaging are included, that improves the case further.
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.
