Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) Matrix 801 Series 3 // Vintage / Floorstanding Speakers / Recapped & Refinished
$3,999
The Bowers & Wilkins Matrix 801 Series 3 is a true studio-born legend—an unapologetically serious loudspeaker that helped define what “reference” meant in the late ’80s and ’90s. Designed by Bowers & Wilkins and famously used in mastering rooms around the world, the 801 S3 delivers scale, neutrality, and authority in a way few speakers can. This vintage floorstander has been fully recapped and refinished, with the woofers professionally reconed, bringing performance back to spec and then some. Mounted on proper Sound Anchor stands, they lock into the room with focus and control, delivering deep, articulate bass, an open and revealing midrange, and that unmistakable Matrix-cabinet clarity that lets recordings speak for themselves. Big, honest, and endlessly revealing, these aren’t “vibe” speakers—they’re truth tellers, restored and ready to work (or play) at the highest level.
