In zeer nette staat goed werkend en onbeschadigd zwarte subwoofer b&w solid rock zie mijn andere advert. (Audio etz.)
This is a buyer’s market for this category at the moment, and €85 looks like a strong deal against the recent used anchor of €334 median and €195 at the 25th percentile. It’s well below the lower quartile, so this is priced to move rather than tested at the top of the market.
That makes it attractive for anyone wanting an easy, characterful piece of classic B&W kit without paying collector money. The Rock Solid line is appreciated for sturdy build and lively, room-filling sound, and a clean, working example at this level is the kind of listing that rewards a quick decision. I’d mainly confirm it powers up properly, plays without rattles, and includes whatever cabling or original bits are supposed to come with it.

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.
