eagle Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Item Condition: Mint - Unmarked Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Pickup available and you can audition.,Shipping is included in price. Suburb or Town: Bayswater State: Western Australia Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Bank Transfer, COD Only Reason for selling: Change in direction Further information: For sale is a magnificent pair of B&W 800 D3 speakers that I bought in December 2019. These were to be my long time partners but unexpected opportunity has arisen to change to a much more expensive speaker. Upgrade not so sure but a change to something that might work better in my room. That being said, in my medium sized room of 6m x 4.75m the 800 D3 completely disappear when the music is recorded accurately. I've owned B&W 802 D2's, Magico's & Rockports and the D3 is a clear step over the D2 series in my view (much more accurate) and at least on par with the other speakers mentioned. Speakers have been driven by various amps from CH Precision to Gryphon. Price is negotiable. All packaging is in pristine condition along with accessories, some of which have never been opened (speaker grilles etc) and can be safely shipped on a pallet Australia wide with full insurance. Buyer does pay for shipping but rates are competitive when shipping West to East coast.

Eugene.cho Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Gorgeous speaker. May I ask if they are used as front speakers for your HT too or those smaller wall mounted ones are the fronts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spottie Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Probably the best speakers in Perth so far this year as far as I can remember. The next owner must be very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanFi Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Do these come in a colour that doesn't cost a small car??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Thanks for all the positive responses. Much appreciated. I don’t use them in HT, strictly 2 channel only. Didn’t plan to sell these but only live once and opportunity arises to upgrade. Got to keep the industry moving forward:) Open to reasonable offers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardoz Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I'm not really sure where one goes to upgrade *from* these... I'd be genuinely interested in these, but sadly I'm about 12-18 months away from having the house of my own to put these in (assuming the housing market dips a bit and I still have a job)... I mean, I could put them in the corner of the living room in their boxes and hope the cats don't figure out how to open them and hope my mortgage broker doesn't ask about the hole in the bank account... These are an endgame speaker for me. Hopefully a pair just like these comes up in a year's time. But I'd be lying if i said I wasn't going to be open to a Bad Decision(tm) if there's a price drop that makes this too good to refuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, you are much better have buyer regret than seller regret. Buy them and use them in the corners of your room as bass traps until you get your new house, they’ll work a treat. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I faced with a similar situation 12 months ago when there was an offer for a 8003 D3. I didn't want to miss the opportunity as I wouldn't get that again for a while. Now I am not regretting at all. If it's your dream go for it mate.......you can't predict housing market here in 2 yrs, could be higher again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundfever Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Lucky this didn’t come up few days ago or I would have a hard time deciding to either get a new vw polo gti or these dream speakers. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Klipsch Palladium speakers are close competitor people reported. I have Klipsch Palladium's and believe Bowers & Wilkins sounding great as mine and maybe even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
