€145 is a good buy for these if they’re complete and working, because the only concrete used comps here sit well above that level: one listing is at about €200 and another at about €315 converted from the asking figures shown. That puts €145 comfortably below the current visible market, so I’d treat it as a genuine value play rather than a merely fair price.
What makes them worth a look is the classic B&W presentation: clean mids, solid imaging, and enough refinement to still make sense in a serious vintage setup. For a model like this, condition matters more than almost anything else, so the real upside is a tidy, original pair with intact grilles, drivers, and ideally the chance to audition them; if they’ve been kept well, this is the kind of older B&W that can outperform plenty of newer budget speakers at the same money.
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.
