    B&W DM5 DM6

    I am debating purchasing DM5 or DM6 but cannot find any listed. If I locate them how much should I offer?

    Why would you want to buy 30 year old speakers ?
    Are you a collector of some kind maybe ?
    You should get a white DM6, in that colour they really do justice to their nickname "Pregnant penguin"
    I have no idea what they're worth though, and I suspect they won't be in such great shape either if you find a pair but maybe you can still get new parts for them from B&W.

      I have a pair of DM5s that I inherited from my uncle, dated 1976 - and they're beautiful. Lovely wood, very solidly made, and they sound good too. My trouble is that one of the tweeters has gone, and I need a replacement - so if you find anyone with any spares, let me know.

        Replacing a dead woofer in a good old DM6?
        by Jacques54
        Hello all,

        My apologies if this isn't the right forum to discuss this, I'm new to HTG.

        One of my pair of faithfull DM6 (bought back in 1976 or was it 1977) has a dead woofer. The B&W dealer tells me to forget about them, parts are not available anymore, etc.

        Bowers & Wilkins- a little history
        by tktran
        B&W got a start after the rebuilding efforts of World War II as a radio and electronics shop. As the story goes, after supplying local schools and churches with PA equipment, John started having to repair them in the workshop in the backyard, and founded B&W Loudspeakers, Ltd in 1966.

        The movie is essentially about teenage pregnancy.

        Sixteen year-old Juno MacGuff is the type of girl that beats to her own drummer, and doesn't really care what others may think of her. She learns that she's pregnant from a one-time sexual encounter with her best friend, Paulie Bleeker....
