Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a fair ask, sitting just above the €2,468 median and comfortably inside the recent comparable range of €2,128 to €2,636. At €2,499, it’s not a bargain, but it’s close enough to the middle of the pack that a clean, ready-to-listen pair would be easy to justify.

These are well-regarded speakers for buyers who want scale, weight, and a more effortless presentation than many modern floorstanders at this level. The upside here is mainly in condition: if the cabinets, drivers, and crossovers are original and healthy, a well-kept example can be a very satisfying long-term buy. Given the age of the model, I’d want proof of careful use and no repair history, but at this price the listing deserves serious attention rather than skepticism.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Bowers & Wilkins

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.
