Offered is „804 D4 - Piano/ HG“ 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 2633441241 ends on 08.12.2026 at 06:53 o'clock.
Timing matters here because the D4 generation is still the current 800 Series Diamond line, so this is not a dated stopgap. At €13,490, the asking price sits above the €11,593 median but well below the €19,305 75th percentile, so it reads as fair-to-slightly-strong rather than a bargain.
That said, for a current-gen Bowers & Wilkins flagship-tier piece in good condition, it’s a credible buy if the specifics check out. These are admired for their resolving top end, articulate midrange, and big, effortless scale, so the upside is getting near-reference performance without paying upper-quartile money. I’d mainly want confirmation of complete accessories, original packing, and clean driver/surrounds, but at this level the listing is still squarely in “worth a serious look” territory.
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.
