Te koop aangeboden: een prachtig paar b&w dm1400 luidsprekers. Deze speakers staan bekend om hun heldere en gedetailleerde geluidsweergave, een kenmerk van bowers & wilkins. Ze functioneren no
Condition is unknown, so €240 lands in the fair-to-good zone for a DM1400: recent asking prices cluster around €260 to €500, with outliers higher, so this is not a bargain-basement score but it is comfortably in range. If the cabinets, grilles, and drivers are straight and original, it looks like sensible money rather than a stretch.
That makes sense because the DM1400 is one of those older B&W models people still chase for its big, controlled presentation and easy musicality, especially in a proper room. A clean pair can be a rewarding buy, but at this age the real check is whether the woofers, tweeters, and crossover are all healthy, and whether any refoam, driver work, or missing bits are lurking.
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.
