Een paar klassieke b&w dm14 speakers in gebruikte staat. Ze vertonen lichte verkleuringen bovenop en enkele krasjes aan de zijkant van het hout, wat te verwachten is gezien de leeftijd. Desondanks
This €350 asking price sits right at the median for the 1983 B&W DM14, making it a fair deal rather than a bargain, as typical used pairs in good condition range from roughly €230 to €300 (converted from $250–$350). While not a strong deal, the timing is solid: these are vintage 80s acoustic suspension speakers now being replaced by modern budget models, so buying them now offers genuine value for their classic sound.
The DM14 is well-regarded for its handsome, quality cabinets, excellent build, and warm, musical performance that pairs easily with many amps. Their 30Hz–22kHz range and 8-ohm impedance make them versatile. The main caveat is the spring-loaded terminals, which can be unreliable, but at this fair price and with no mention of damage, this is a worthwhile buying opportunity for a fellow enthusiast seeking authentic vintage sound.
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.
