Condition is unknown, so this isn’t a blind bargain, but at A$2,500 it sits above the recent used cluster for this centre speaker: the median is A$2,179 and the 75th percentile is A$2,352, so the ask is ambitious rather than fair. There’s not enough in the listing to call it a deal.
That said, the model itself is a strong centre-channel buy when you want clear dialogue, solid tonal match with a proper B&W front stage, and the scale to keep up in a serious home theatre. If it’s cosmetically clean, fully working, and includes the grille and any original packing, the value case improves; at this price, I’d want confirmation that the finish and drivers are excellent before paying up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bowers & Wilkins, the esteemed British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to 1966 in Worthing, West Sussex, when John Bowers founded the company with a £10,000 bequest from a satisfied customer, Miss Knight, who admired his hobby-crafted loudspeakers. Previously, Bowers and Roy Wilkins had run an electronics rental shop after meeting in the British Army during World War II. This fortuitous legacy fueled Bowers' obsession with acoustic perfection, launching the P1 as their inaugural product and establishing a foundation of relentless innovation in speaker design.
The brand excels in premium loudspeakers across categories like floorstanders, bookshelves, and studio monitors, with iconic lines such as the 600 Series for accessible excellence and the legendary 801, adopted as Abbey Road Studios' reference in 1979. They also produce high-end headphones like the P5 and Zeppelin, formation audio systems, and select electronics, prioritizing driver technology, cabinetry, and precise engineering over amplifiers, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Bowers & Wilkins commands reverence among discerning audiophiles and professionals for its clarity, musical truth, and uncompromised fidelity. A staple in both consumer and studio environments, it embodies British precision engineering, blending heritage with cutting-edge research to sustain its status as a benchmark for premium audio excellence.
