Offered is „802 D4“ by B&W as exhibit from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1964800042 ends on 28.11.2026 at 11:38 o'clock.
What are you really getting by paying €2,850 instead of waiting for a lower ask? Against your own comp set, this sits essentially on the median of €2,862 and just below the 75th percentile of €2,888, so it reads as fairly priced, not a bargain but not ambitious either.
That makes it a sensible buy if you want the feature set and sound reputation without paying a premium. This model is well regarded as a flexible surround processor, and in good condition the upside is straightforward: you get a lot of McIntosh-level usability and polish for a number that’s still in line with recent asks. At this price, I’d mainly be checking for complete functionality, firmware stability, and any included accessories or original documentation.
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.
