Offered is „801 D4 - Satin Weiß“ 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 2816962084 ends on 08.11.2026 at 14:11 o'clock.
Timing matters a bit here because the 801 D4 is still the current-generation flagship in the line, so this isn’t a “buy only if you must” legacy piece; at €33,900 it lands above the €30,891 median and just under the €35,054 75th percentile, so it reads as a fairly firm but still defensible ask. It’s not a bargain, but it isn’t out of line for a good-condition pair in this class.
What you’re buying is the big 800 Series payoff: scale, composure, deep bass authority, and very high resolution without sounding strained when partnered properly. In good condition, that makes this a serious endgame speaker and a sensible way to save a lot versus new pricing; I’d want clear photos, proof of careful ownership, and confirmation of all grilles, spikes, and original packing because moving these safely matters more than usual.
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.
