B&W Bowers & Wilkins Matrix 803 Series 2 Speakers in Walnut
From what we consider the Golden era of B&W, or at least our favorite era of B&W, we have a gorgeous pair of the Matrix 803 Series 2 speakers with consecutive serial numbers. We love this era of B&W due to the fact that the speakers sound so natural, and are non fatiguing. This pair is still set up in one of our house systems. They just sound amazing.
Physically, the speakers are in overall excellent condition. The cabinets have only minor blemishes and no dents, dings, or deep scratches. The grills are in very good condition as well. One of the grills has a small mark in the fabric on the upper right side, and few marks on the right aluminum side piece on the same grill. There are closeups in the pictures on this listing.
Both tweeters, while in perfect working order, had the front tabs that clip the front of the tweeter into its bracket break off. (a common issue with these vintage tweeters). We use a small piece of Blue Tack to hold them in place. We will include some Blue Tack with the speakers. The tweeters will be removed for shipping. To install, simply plug them in, and set them in their cradles on the speaker.
For further details, see the many pictures in the listing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
We don't have the original boxes for these speakers, but we take packaging and shipping seriously. We spare no expense and use heavy duty boxes, several inches of polyethylene foam on all sides of the units, and use water activated, fiber reinforced tape on all seams. These boxes will also be reinforce with cardboard angle stock, and the strapped.
