Te koop aangeboden: een nette b&w vm1 center speaker in zilverkleur. Deze veelzijdige speaker kan zowel horizontaal als verticaal worden geplaatst en is ideaal als centerkanaal in een home cinema
€35 is a strong buy: that sits well below the typical used asking band I’d expect for a VM1, which commonly turns up around €50–€90 for singles and roughly €100–€150 for usable pairs or higher once stands/accessories are included. Against that backdrop, €35 is bargain territory rather than merely fair, especially if this is a clean single speaker or a matched piece from a set.
The VM1 is a nice little B&W cinema satellite: compact, well-built, easy to wall-mount, and good for surround or center-duty in a modest room. What makes it worthwhile is the brand’s solid imaging and the convenience of a small-format home-theater speaker that still has real hi-fi pedigree. At this price, the main check is simple: confirm the driver is healthy, the terminal cup is intact, and any original stand or wall bracket is included if you need it.
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.
