Angeboten wird „801D4 / 801 D4 schwarz hochglanz 2025“ von B&W als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7738740281 endet am 25.07.2026 um 06:16 Uhr.
Is this speaker worth paying a touch above the going rate? At €27,900, it lands just above the recent used median of €26,044 and a bit over the 75th percentile at €27,064, so this is an ambitious but not outrageous ask for a good-condition example.
That’s still a compelling buy if you want one of Bowers & Wilkins’ most respected full-range designs: the 801D4 is prized for scale, control, and top-tier resolution without sounding thin. In good condition, the real upside is getting a recent, current-generation flagship with strong long-term appeal; just make sure the cabinets, drivers, and included hardware are complete before committing.

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.
