Te koop: een set van 4 bowers & wilkins speakers, elk voorzien van een extra bass chamber voor een diepere en rijkere geluidsweergave. Deze speakers leveren de kenmerkende hoge kwaliteit van b&
Bowers & Wilkins speakers have a strong reputation for polished, room-friendly sound, and this bundle lands in the fair-to-good zone rather than bargain territory. At €400, it sits above the €281 median but well below the €634 75th percentile from your comparables, so it’s a sensible ask if the set is complete and working properly.
The upside here is getting a full multi-speaker package, which can be attractive if you want an immediate system rather than piecing things together. B&W gear is generally well loved for clarity and balance, so a clean, original, well-kept example can be a very usable buy. I’d mainly want confirmation that all four speakers are matched, intact, and free of driver or cabinet issues before moving on it.
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.
