B&w asw600 actieve subwoofer. Calvados. In nieuwstaat.
€350 is fair to slightly strong, not a bargain. For a used ASW 600, that sits in the sensible middle rather than in “must-buy” territory; it’s the kind of ask I’d accept if the unit is clean, fully working, and local pickup saves hassle.
What makes it worth considering is that this is a well-made, compact sealed sub with decent output for small to medium rooms and good integration with matching B&W 600-era systems. The downside is mostly age-related: at this price, you want proof it powers up quietly, the driver is healthy, and the plate amp isn’t showing the usual old-sub issues. If it’s tidy and original, it’s a solid enthusiast buy.
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.
