Nice-looking floorstanders with a real following, and €275 is a strong price for the 684 S1 if they’re complete and working cleanly. Typical used asks I found cluster more around roughly €260–€400, with some listings stretching to about €475–€640 depending on condition and market, so this sits below the usual middle of the market and looks like a buy rather than a stretch.
What makes them worth grabbing is the balanced B&W house sound: open top end, solid scale, and enough bass weight to anchor a medium room without needing a sub right away. At this price, the upside is getting a respected, easy-to-place tower from a known series for less than many sellers ask for the same model; just confirm the grilles, plinths, and both drivers are original and tidy, since condition matters more than age here.
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.
