Te koop aangeboden: een prachtige set bowers & wilkins cm5 speakers, rosenut uitvoering, in uitstekende staat. Inclusief bijpassende stands (niet origineel b&w, wel incl interne kabelgoot). De
€575 is above the median and a bit over the typical middle of the market, so it reads as a reasonable but not cheap ask rather than a standout bargain. Against your own comps, it sits well above the €304 median and comfortably inside the broad middle-to-upper band, so I’d treat it as fair if the pair and stands are clean, original, and ready to play.
That makes sense for a respected compact B&W model: these are known for a lively, detailed presentation with good imaging for smaller rooms, and the stands add real value if they’re the proper matched pair. If the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are tidy and the stands are included as shown, this is a solid buy for someone wanting a refined standmount setup without jumping into bigger floorstanders.

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.
