Bowers & Wilkins 805 Matrix Bookshelf Speakers - Oak - Pretty!

B&W / Bowers & Wilkins Matrix 805 Speakers — Beautiful Oak Wood Finish, Excellent Condition

Up for sale is my pair of Bowers & Wilkins Matrix 805 bookshelf/stand-mount speakers in a gorgeous wood veneer finish. These are in great shape overall and have clearly been well cared for. The cabinets present beautifully, the grilles are intact, and the drivers/tweeters look clean and healthy. I’m only selling because I have, frankly, too many speakers — a wonderful problem, but a problem nonetheless. (Make offers, we'll see!)

The Matrix 805 is one of B&W’s classic 1990s designs and sits in the same engineering family that helped establish B&W as a serious studio and audiophile loudspeaker company. These feature the distinctive top-mounted tweeter, B&W’s famous yellow Kevlar mid/bass driver, front porting, and the company’s Matrix internal bracing system, designed to make the cabinet more rigid and reduce unwanted resonance. They are compact enough for a bookshelf or stand setup but have a much bigger, more refined sound than their size suggests — detailed, articulate, and very musical, with the kind of imaging B&W became known for.

These would be a great fit for a nice two-channel system, office/listening room, vintage hi-fi setup, or nearfield-style listening space. They have that classic B&W clarity without being sterile, and they still look fantastic in a room.

Condition: Very good to excellent for age. Please see photos for details.
Reason for selling: I simply have too many speakers and need to thin the herd.
Included: Pair of B&W Matrix 805 speakers with grilles.
Shipping: Buyer pays shipping.
