Offered is „B & W 803 Diamond“ by B&W as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9386488655 ends on 16.11.2026 at 17:08 o'clock.
This is a late-2000s/early-2010s-era B&W flagship, so timing matters more for condition and maintenance history than for “new model” relevance. At €4,500, it looks very fair to slightly strong against current used-market asks for 803 Diamond examples, which often cluster a bit lower around roughly €4,000-€4,300 for clean D2-era pairs, with nicer or later versions going higher.
That makes this a sensible buy if it’s genuinely clean, complete, and properly cared for. The 803 Diamond is prized for scale, grip, and a big, refined presentation that still competes well in serious rooms, especially if you want real floorstanding authority without jumping to the biggest 800-series models. If boxes, grilles, spikes, and original paperwork are included, that helps; the main thing to check is driver health, cabinet condition, and whether the tweeters and bass units have been abused.
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.
