Compared with the obvious alternative at this level, this sits slightly above fair rather than bargain territory. At A$7,250, it’s above the recent A$7,098 median and just over the A$7,160 75th percentile, so I’d call it ambitious but still close enough to market if the pair is tidy and complete.
That makes sense because the 803 D2 is a properly serious speaker: a large, refined floorstander with the kind of scale, bass authority, and tonal density that make it a long-term keep for a good room. If the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are clean and it includes the original bits, there’s real upside here; at this price, I’d mainly want confirmation of condition and careful auditioning rather than hunting for a hidden flaw.
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.
