Bowers & Wilkins 803D2 Floorstanding Loudspeakers B&W 803d2. In very good condition (2nd Owner). Includes: Manual Spikes Jumpers. No boxes So pick up only. Condition: 8.5/10 Payment Method: Money Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By Winter 1 Comments AUD $7,000 Date: June 15, 20241 yr
Conditioned very good, this sits slightly under the market median for the model: A$7,000 versus a typical A$7,098, and just below the A$7,035 25th percentile. That makes it a solid buy, not a steal, with enough room to feel sensible rather than ambitious.
The 803 D2 is one of B&W’s most respected old-school floorstanders: big-scale dynamics, deep bass, and that polished Diamond-series top-end when everything is right. For a clean pair at this price, the appeal is in the overall refinement and the fact that well-kept examples still command real demand; just make sure the tweeters, midranges, and bass drivers are original and healthy, because driver and crossover age matter on speakers like this.

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.
