Offered is „802 D4 Gloss Black“ 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 8529565618 ends on 02.11.2026 at 12:37 o'clock.
These are big, serious loudspeakers, and the asking price sits a little above the center of the recent EUR market. Against 11 comparable listings, €18,600 is just over the €18,152 median and comfortably below the €20,250 75th percentile, so it reads as fair rather than cheap.
That makes this a sensible buy if the condition is genuinely good and the pair is complete. The appeal here is the scale, low-end authority, and refined top-end presentation this line is known for; a well-kept set can still be a long-term keeper. At this level, the main things to confirm are cabinet condition, driver integrity, and whether any stands, grilles, or original packaging are included, since those details matter more than chasing a discount.
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.
