Een set b&w 685 s2 monitoren in zeer goede staat. Originele doos: nee garantie: ja inruil mogelijk: nee staat: zeer goed vaste prijs: hans audio stationsweg 6-7 1621hz, hoorn 0229-756950 openingst
This is a fair-to-good asking price: at €299, it sits just under the €307 median and below the €303–€310 recent spread, so it looks slightly favorable rather than merely acceptable.
That makes it a sensible buy for someone after a well-regarded standmount with a lively, detailed presentation and solid bass for its size. The 685 S2 is a proven all-rounder in the B&W line, and at this level the main appeal is getting genuinely good performance without paying a premium. If the drivers are clean and the cabinets tidy, this is the sort of listing worth moving on quickly.

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.
