The stunning BandW HTM1 D3 centre speaker in piano gloss black With an initial RRP of 8200,this amazing centre speaker will truly bring out the best in any high quality home cinema system In immaculate condition throughout and complete with all original packagingbox Collection welcome,otherwise next day shipping available at cost
Excellent condition helps, but £2,749 is still firmly ambitious against the recent GBP market: it sits well above the £1,109 75th percentile and far past the £428 median, so this is priced at the top end rather than as a value play. It would need exceptional provenance, a pristine cabinet, and complete originality to justify that ask.
That said, this is a respected centre speaker with the kind of neutral, high-end voicing B&W is known for, so it can be a superb anchor for a serious home cinema if you’re matching it to the right system. The upside here is quality and system cohesion, not bargain value; only consider paying this much if the rest of the setup is already in the same league and the speaker is genuinely immaculate.
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.
