Offered is „B&W 802 D2“ 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 1360125506 ends on 04.12.2026 at 12:45 o'clock.
The B&W 802 is a substantial, highly regarded floorstander, and EUR 7,400 is a genuine bargain against the comparable-listing data. It sits well below the EUR 8,878 25th percentile and is less than half the EUR 15,813 median, so even allowing for model-year differences, the asking price looks unusually attractive.
What makes the 802 worthwhile is its combination of authoritative bass, a clear, open midrange, extended treble, and a convincing large-scale presentation. The separate midrange/tweeter assembly and twin bass drivers give it both refinement and room-filling ability, provided the partnering amplifier and positioning are up to the job. Confirm the exact 802 generation, inspect the tweeters and bass surrounds, and check that plinths, grilles, and any original accessories are included—but if it is genuinely in good condition, this is a buying opportunity rather than merely a fair deal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
