Te koop aangeboden: een set van twee bowers & wilkins 706 s2 luidsprekers in perfecte conditie. Deze speakers leveren een geweldig en indrukwekkend geluid voor hun formaat. Alle originele toebehor
The €1,250 asking price sits just above the 75th percentile (€1,218) of the ground-truth used market, making it ambitious but not absurdly so for this Bowers & Wilkins 706 S2 pair. Since the ground-truth median is €1,197 and the 25th percentile is €1,150, this listing is clearly not a bargain; it’s a fair-to-high price that reflects either pristine condition or included extras.
This is still a worthwhile buy because the 706 S2 is widely praised for its best-in-class bang-for-buck performance in the 700 Series, offering exceptional detail via its Decoupled Carbon Dome tweeter and rich midrange from the Continuum cone. If the speakers are in original-owner condition with both grill sets (black and grey) and no damage, the slight premium over median is justified—this is a buying opportunity for a well-loved, technically advanced bookshelf speaker that rarely disappoints.
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.
