Angeboten wird „802 D3“ von B&W als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 876537985 endet am 13.07.2026 um 20:21 Uhr.
A solid fair-price ask for a respected floorstander; it sits just below the €18,481 median and well above the €9,282 25th percentile, so this is not a bargain-bin play but it is right in the normal used-market band. At €18,000, the seller is pricing it close enough to typical recent comparables that the number looks reasonable rather than ambitious.
What makes it appealing is the model’s long-standing reputation for scale, clarity, and composure: these are speakers people buy for serious listening, not for hype. In good condition, the upside is getting a big, capable B&W without paying top-of-market money, and if the original grilles, spikes, and packaging are present, that helps. For a pair this old, I’d still confirm the driver surrounds, tweeter health, and whether any foam, veneer, or terminal work has been done.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
