Te koop aangeboden: een complete set bowers & wilkins luidsprekers inclusief een krachtige subwoofer (model as1). Deze set is ideaal voor een home cinema opstelling of als aanvulling op uw bestaan
Versus a new budget 5.1 package, this looks like a sensible used buy rather than a bargain-bin gamble. At €450, it sits above the €325 median but well below the €837 75th percentile, so the asking price is fair to slightly firm for the current market.
Bowers & Wilkins home-cinema speakers usually earn their keep with clean mids, confident dynamics, and a sub that can give movies proper scale without turning muddy. If the set is complete and the finish is tidy, the upside is getting a recognized, upgrade-friendly system at a reasonable used price; just confirm the sub powers up cleanly and all channels are working evenly before committing.

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.
