Offered is „803 D3“ by B&W as new device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 65452144 ends on 04.11.2026 at 01:27 o'clock.
Compared with buying a newer floorstander at this money, this is a very strong used-market ask: €7,000 sits well below the €7,659 25th percentile and far under the €8,156 median, so it reads as a bargain rather than just “fair.” For a speaker of this caliber, that’s the zone where serious buyers should move quickly if the condition is genuinely clean.
The appeal is straightforward: the 803 D3 is one of Bowers & Wilkins’ most respected designs, with the kind of clarity, scale, and bass grip that makes it easy to live with long term and hard to outgrow. At this price, the main upside is value, especially if it comes with original boxes, grilles, spikes, and a careful single-owner history; if those are all present, it looks like a smart buy for someone building a serious system without paying fresh-retail pain.
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.
