€2,100 is ambitious versus the current used-market anchor: it sits well above the 75th percentile of €634, and more than 7× the €291 median. Against that database, this is only a buyer if the pair is unusually complete, serviced, and cosmetically exceptional.
That said, the 804S is a serious loudspeaker: the Nautilus-style tweeter, strong midrange coherence, and capable bass make it a rewarding step-up for someone building a proper stereo system. If the boxes are original, the grilles and spikes are included, and the drivers are clean with no cabinet damage, the upside is in getting a genuinely high-end B&W floorstander in good shape; at this asking price, I’d want proof of condition and history before moving.
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.
