Offered is „804 D4 Schwarz 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 08.11.2026 at 11:02 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, 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.
