At €250, this sits above the local used median of €169 and even clears the €214 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair on the numbers you gave. It is not wildly out of line, but it is priced at a premium versus the current comparable market, so I would only lean in if the condition, cosmetics, or provenance are unusually strong.
That said, this is a well-liked vintage Bowers & Wilkins floorstander with the kind of easy, engaging presentation many buyers still chase: solid tonal balance, good scale, and enough refinement to make it a satisfying everyday listen. If the drivers, surrounds, and cabinets are clean, and the seller can show original ownership or recent careful storage, there is real upside here; but at this price, I’d want assurance that the pair is fully healthy and ready to play, because the margin for “as-is” surprises is thinner than at the median.
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.
