Piano white a very rare colour ,these speakers punch way above there size, very detailed sound ,very heavy for there size Kevlar bass unit,tweeters are Perfect working condition as well made in England
£500 looks ambitious against your market data: it sits above the £558 75th percentile? No — more precisely, it is above the £258 median and well into the upper half, so I’d want strong condition or extras to justify it.
That said, this is a respected compact monitor: the CM1 has a well-liked, refined balance with clear mids, tidy treble and the sort of easy placement that makes it appealing in smaller rooms. If the pair is clean, fully working, and ideally includes grilles/stands/packing, it can still be a sensible buy; just make sure the cosmetics and any driver foam/terminal issues are genuinely sorted before paying near the top end.
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.
