Te koop: b&w 804 d4 (zwart). Smetteloze staat, niet van nieuw te onderscheiden gekocht in 2022. Met origineel aankoopbewijs nog 7 jaar fabrieksgarantie worden geleverd in originele cartons, spikes
At this price, the obvious alternative is buying a newer midrange floorstander—but this is a strong deal for a 804 D4. At €8,900, it sits below the €9,084 25th-percentile comparable, and well under the €9,851 median from 13 recent listings. Assuming the pair is complete and functional, the asking price is firmly in bargain territory rather than merely fair.
The 804 D4 remains a highly capable, refined floorstander: exceptionally resolving, clean through the midrange and treble, and fast and controlled in the bass without sounding heavy. Its compact footprint and premium cabinet work add real appeal for serious two-channel systems. At this price, condition matters more than usual—check the diamond tweeters, grilles, terminals, cabinet finish, and confirm the original plinths, spikes, and jumpers are included—but there is no need to invent a concern. A clean, complete pair would be an excellent buy.
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.
