Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?


I see a lot of negative commentary on B&W. Why? Are they overpriced? Do they not sound as amazing as they look? Are they too “main stream”? - I love my 805 d3’s but curious why they get such a bad rep.

We are confusing price with perceived value, which is subjective.

If a product is over priced, then the secondary market will discount the product to the appropriate price point. Efficient markets actually work!

I have zero idea how these speakers fare in the secondary market, but that is where you will know their true value.

Let’s not confuse personal opinion regarding their sound versus the real pricing data.

Someone care to share what their secondary market value is for 2 or 3 year old models in pristine condition, please.
