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, 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.
