The €2,650 asking price sits right on top of the recent used-market median of €2,639, with the 25th and 75th percentiles tightly bunched at €2,634 and €2,645, so this reads as a fair price rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask. For a pair of Buchardt A500s, that’s solid territory: the original retail was far higher, and the model’s active DSP, strong bass extension, and very refined, evenhanded sound kept it well regarded when new.
That makes this a worthwhile buy if the condition really is good and the package is complete. The A500’s appeal is in its all-in-one convenience, configurable voicing, and genuinely high-end performance from a compact sealed design; if the listing includes the hub, remote, and original accessories, that meaningfully improves the value. At this price, the main check is not hidden flaws so much as making sure you’re getting the full system and that all electronics, inputs, and wireless functions behave as expected.
