Offered is „801 D4“ 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 5156480327 ends on 02.11.2026 at 12:10 o'clock.
The 801 D4 sits near the top of Bowers & Wilkins’ line and is the kind of flagship that tends to stay desirable when kept in good shape. At €20,000, this is a strong deal versus the recent used market: it lands well below the €26,760 25th percentile and far under the €29,000 median, which makes it look outright attractive rather than merely fair.
That matters because this model is prized for scale, control, and that big-room, full-range presentation that fewer speakers can match. In good condition, it’s the sort of buy that can anchor a serious system for years, and the price leaves room for delivery, setup, or matching electronics. With a speaker at this level, the main thing is confirming clean cosmetics, intact drivers, and any original packaging or spikes, but at this asking price the listing reads as a genuine opportunity.
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.
