Offered is „804 D4 Satin Walnut“ by B&W as exhibit from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9641400921 ends on 02.11.2026 at 13:02 o'clock.
This isn’t a timing-sensitive buy in the sense of a new replacement making it obsolete; the 804 remains a well-regarded floorstander, and for €9,600 it lands a bit above the €8,797 median but still comfortably within the normal used range, below the €10,424 75th percentile. That makes it a fair-to-slightly-ambitious ask rather than a bargain, with the price mainly justified if the condition is genuinely clean and the finish is desirable.
What keeps it attractive is the 804’s balance of scale, clarity, and easy musicality; it’s the kind of speaker that can sound refined without becoming fussy, and strong examples hold their appeal well in the used market. At this level, the value story improves if the pair is complete, well cared for, and ideally includes the original packaging or stands; otherwise, there’s no big red flag here, just a price that asks for a good example rather than a project.

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.
