$2000. No more no less.
What are these B&W speakers worth?
Hello all,
I'm new to the forum here. A while back I acquired a pair of B&W model 801 speakers. Unfortunately, they are physically much too large to fit my available space. I have a small room that acts as my TV/media room. I listen to mostly jazz and classical music plus the odd movie on my system.
Frankly, I have no real idea what I have with these speakers, beyond the fact that they really do sound great to me. At this point I am interested in selling them and going with a good bookshelf-size range speaker. That said, can anyone offer some good advice as to how much these speakers may be worth? I know they are in good shape physically and have been well cared for. What say you, ladies and gents?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Cheers, Jim

Any price at this point is just a wild guess, and their value may be more or less than the $2000 stated. It is absolutely necessary to know what version of 801 this is. From the original 801 in 1979, and definitely worth much less than $2000, the progression was 801F, Matrix 801 S2, Matrix 801 S3, N801, 801D, to the current 801 Diamond. You might try looking here as it may help determine the model. http://bwgroupsupport.com/manuals/bw-archive This link shows manufacture date and retail price each, so X2 for a pair. http://bwgroupsupport.com/archives/bw Hope this helps. |
