Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a buyer’s market for this model at the asking price. At A$39,000, it sits below the 25th percentile of recent comparable AUD listings at A$39,457, so it reads as a real bargain rather than just a fair ask.

That makes sense for a speaker of this calibre: the 801 D4 is widely respected for scale, bass authority, and effortless resolution, and it’s the kind of box that rewards serious amplification and room setup. If the finish is clean and the drivers are healthy, this is the sort of purchase that can anchor a reference system for years; just verify provenance, driver condition, and any included grilles or spikes, since those details matter more than small cosmetic marks on a large-format flagship.

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.
