For Sale: Vintage Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) DM5 Speaker Set – 1970s Classic British Hi-Fi with original manual and receipt.

Offered here is a stunning pair of Bowers & Wilkins DM5 loudspeakers, a legendary model from the mid-1970s that showcases the craftsmanship and sonic excellence that B&W has been known for over decades. These speakers are a perfect addition for audiophiles, vintage audio collectors, or anyone seeking high-quality, warm, and natural sound reproduction.

The B&W DM5 was designed with precision and performance in mind, offering exceptional clarity, balance, and detail across the frequency spectrum. These 2-way bookshelf speakers feature a 200mm bass driver and a 25mm Celestion HF1300 tweeter, providing a smooth and detailed soundstage with excellent imaging. The speakers deliver clean, dynamic low frequencies and beautifully extended highs that are ideal for a variety of musical genres, from classical to rock.

The cabinets are constructed from high-quality wood veneer with a clean, minimalist design, measuring 56 cm (H) x 25 cm (W) x 26 cm (D) and weighing approximately 10 kg each. Despite their compact size, the DM5 speakers provide impressive bass response and wide dispersion, making them suitable for both small and medium-sized rooms. With a power handling capacity of 25-50 watts RMS at 8 ohms, they pair wonderfully with vintage and modern amplifiers alike.

These speakers have been fully tested and are in excellent working condition. The drivers and crossovers are original and perform flawlessly, delivering the warm, natural sound that Bowers & Wilkins is celebrated for. Cosmetically, the cabinets are in very good condition for their age, with minor signs of wear that add to their vintage character. The wood veneer has been carefully cleaned and preserved.

The B&W DM5 speakers are a testament to the golden age of British Hi-Fi, combining superb engineering with timeless design. Whether you’re using them as part of a vintage system, listening to vinyl, or connecting them to modern audio equipment, these speakers will deliver a musical experience that modern systems often struggle to replicate.
