Offered is „DB4 S“ by B&W as exhibit from the category „Subwoofer“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4916118579 ends on 12.11.2026 at 18:40 o'clock.
Is this the right time to grab a heavyweight sealed sub from a respected brand? At €1,800, this sits well above the recent used market for the model: the median is €1,340 and even the 75th percentile is only €1,472, so the ask looks ambitious rather than fair.
That said, the DB4 S is a seriously capable subwoofer and one of B&W’s more admired low-end pieces, with real output, tight control, and the sort of refinement that suits serious two-channel or home-theater systems. If it’s truly clean, well cared for, and comes with the right setup pieces, it’s a strong performer — but at this price, the buyer should expect excellent condition and a genuinely complete package.
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.
