Bowers & Wilkins 800 D3 Floorstanding Loudspeakers Bought from Sydney Hifi, PM if any question speaker in great condition with original box and full accessories I look after my gears pretty well. open for trade high end speaker or ultra high end Dac Condition: Very good Payment Method: Any Region/State: (WA) Western Australia/Australia By Ed369 0 Comments AUD $28,000 Date: May 13, 20241 yr
Very_good condition is the right place to start here, and at A$28,000 this is very close to the median of the recent comparable AUD market at A$27,092, sitting just above it and well inside the normal band between A$25,703 and A$36,682. That makes it fair rather than cheap, with no obvious premium to justify unless the package is unusually complete or provenance is especially strong.
That still makes it worth a serious look because this is a reference-class speaker with real scale, low-end authority, and the sort of revealing top end that still competes well when it’s set up properly. If the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are clean and it comes with the original accessories, it’s the kind of used buy that rewards a careful inspection and a patient buyer rather than a bargain hunter.
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.
