Bowers wilkins rock solid6/7/2023 His goal was to build speakers that would allow him “to see classical music live in his own home”. John Bowers became increasingly interested in the design and building of loudspeakers which led him to create a new company, B&W Loudspeakers Ltd. It was founded by John Bowers and Roy Wilkins who had met while serving in the Royal Corps of Signals during World War II. Economies of scale – Bowers & Wilkins manufactures a lot of products.īowers & Wilkins began as a radio and electronics sales and service shop in Worthing, England. And its manufacturing ability and quality is incredible – when you compare the company’s products to other high-end audio manufacturers you have to marvel at how it can keep its prices so reasonable. It probably annually spends more dollars on R&D than the GDP of many small countries. Given only audiophiles will likely be reading this, I probably don’t need to say that Bowers & Wilkins, AKA B&W, is a speaker, headphone and lifestyle product designer and manufacturer par excellence. In other words, Bowers & Wilkins creates benchmarks against which other brands struggle to compete on a quality, ingenuity and cost basis. For many, it represents the pinnacle, the ultimate audio product they wish to someday own. To an audiophile, the name Bowers & Wilkins is as ubiquitous as Stradivarius, Steinway and Elvis Presley.
