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, 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.
