Description
For sale is a beautiful pair of Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) DM602 S2 bookshelf loudspeakers in the sought-after Black Ash finish. These iconic British-made speakers have been fully tested and are in excellent working condition, delivering the detailed, dynamic, and musical sound quality that has made the DM602 S2 one of B&W’s most respected bookshelf speakers.
This is a matching pair with consecutive serial numbers (083755 & 083756), a desirable feature for collectors and audiophiles alike.
Cosmetically, these speakers are outstanding for being from the late 1990s. The cabinets remain exceptionally clean with only very light signs of normal use. There are a few minor scratches and small cosmetic marks, primarily on the bottoms and a couple of cabinet surfaces, all shown clearly in the photos. One grille has a small tear near the bottom corner (see final photo), but both original grilles remain structurally sound and fit properly.
A nice bonus is that these still include the original factory bi-wire/bi-amp jumper bars (connector plates), which are frequently missing on used pairs. Also included is the original B&W owner’s manual.
If you’ve been looking for a clean, original pair of DM602 S2 speakers that haven’t been abused, these are an excellent example.

Shipping
These speakers will be professionally packed and shipped in two separate boxes. Shipping costs are slightly higher because I do not have the original factory boxes, and I want to ensure they arrive safely without cabinet or driver damage during transit. Each speaker will be individually wrapped with substantial padding and protection to help guarantee safe delivery.
Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the item description. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like additional photos. Thanks for looking!
