Hello. i’m trying to identify this BW speaker. Is it great quality? from what year? potential value?

Thank you, mel

My hunch is, it's a B&W Matrix2 Series2 speaker. I think these were from the late 80's???

No. The first image you provided reminded me of their Matrix series from the 80's so I googled it and found an image seamingly quite similar to your first image. If it turns out to be smaller bookshelf types my apologies.

But this link below is what led to my response to you.
