Angeboten wird „CM 5 S2 - Satin White“ von B&W als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Kompaktlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8755357495 endet am 16.09.2026 um 06:37 Uhr.
This €848 ask for the B&W CM5 S2 in Satin White is a strong deal, sitting well below the median of €511 and comfortably under the 75th percentile of €2,010 from 28 recent EUR comparable listings. While the median suggests fair used value around €511, your price is actually higher than the median, so let me correct: €848 is above the median (€511) but still below the 75th percentile (€2,010), making it fair to slightly ambitious, not a bargain. Wait—re-reading the ground truth: median €511, 25th €302, 75th €2,010. €848 is clearly above median, closer to the upper half of typical used asks, so it’s fair but not a bargain.
The CM5 S2 remains a well-regarded compact speaker praised for its tight bass, clear midrange, and Bowers & Wilkins’ signature smooth treble, thanks to its 28mm aluminum dome and advanced cabinet design. At €848, it’s a solid buy if the pair is in original-owner condition with intact grilles and no cabinet damage, offering a step up from entry-level bookshelf speakers without the bulk of floorstanders. No major caveats apply here unless the listing hides wear or missing accessories; otherwise, it’s a worthwhile opportunity for a balanced, refined sound in a small form factor.

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.
